July 27, 1964, Monday. Can’t decide to go to the Coronation as a Barbie or Sex Pot

Went shopping at 10 am with my sister Donna and Mom. We must have gone to a hundred stores. Found three Formals. One white Sheath with a bustle in the back, a white one with an enormous skirt, so beautiful and a black and white sheath. I can’t decide. I like the white ones but will probably get the black and white one. Came home at 9:30 pm. We shopped for 12 hours. I feel so sad because I know I didn’t really win and now my hopes ar built up only to be terribly disappointed. So sad. Nothing good has happened all Summer. Just sad let downs. I don’t even have anyone to go to the Ball with.

My name in Saffrons was Barbie Doll, because of my hair, clothes and car.  So I guess I will be going to the Coronation as a Sexy Barbie Doll.
