Bimbo for children, March 1, 1969

Bambini and bambino I get, but Bimbo? That's the name of this children's magazine, published out of London.


Bimbo ran a contest for best collage paper dolls, "Your Jolly Mixtures." What a great title!

    Hi Linda,

    What an interesting post. To add insult to injury, the doll is blonde, hence a "Blonde Bimbo." So sad!

    Hugs,
    Meri

    Bimbo means "baby" in Italian. Still for us Americans it doesn't paint a pretty picture!

    I agree, here in America it would be an insult, but in other countries it doesn't have the negative association we have here. Very cute.
