Interestingly, the "black Barbie doll" was actually first marketed by Mattel in the '70s as "Cara" and sold at the same price as Barbie. IIRC, there was even a 1970's United Airlines cross-marketing scheme, Barbie's Friend Ship, a plane on which Barbie was a stewardess--this was before the term "flight attendant" came into use--and Cara was included in this campaign. I clearly remember seeing old issues of Ebony with Cara and the Friend Ship around the holidays. The Mattel action figure for boys, "Big Jim" also had a plane set, but it wasn't cross-marketed with an airline, if memory serves... |
