That was bad, wasn't it
The original Barbie did have "pierced" ears. I had one, when she first came out.
Long before Barbie, when dolls were bigger and had wigs glued onto the hard heads (not soft plastic), i pulled the wig off one of my dolls and painted its head with shoe polish (no sharpies in those days) so i could have a "boy". I wrapped them in my mother's solid color silk scarves and acted out Ancient Greek myths with them.
