Some of you out there may remember--or owned, as I did-- Thimble City. This was like a miniaturized set of a small town, with roofless buildings, mounted on plastic holders to stand it up, keeping it in place. The cars, and people were controlled by magnetic wands that you ran under the board to get them to move anywhere you wanted.
I would not be surprised that many burgeoning gay children owned this. After all, the game gave us something we weren't capable of having then--control--so any of you who developed into Big Control Queens, this is probably where it all stemmed from.
Now, hold these thoughts. Because I would like to update this idea to today
How about updating the concept of Thimble City, to "Asylum," on "American Horror Story?" The bedroom set below, or the day room could be replicated like Thimble City above, with action figures for all the characters guided by similar magnetic wands. You could be
Sister Jude, Pepper, Lana, Kip, Dr. Arden, or my personal favorite, Sister Mary Eunice! You could even choreograph your own "Name Game" number!
Almost like spending a night in the Asylum! I am telling you, dolls, the sales for this would go straight through the roof. Cha Cha Heels would be forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it in mind, darlings! I've been good, Santa! And THIS is the toy I want for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
