Barbie

Growing up, I loved Barbies. The dresses, the shoes, the townhome (which is still in my parent's garage). I was a bit of a Barbie snob. Aside from my Donny and Marie and Princess Leia doll, if it wasn't a true Barbie, I wasn't having it. I outgrew it in Jr. High but in college, saw the Scarlett O'Hara versions and of course, had to grab those. That started my pseudo Barbie collection. I have 4 Scarletts, all of the Disney Princesses, 2 Marilyn Monroes, 2 Sandys from Grease (good girl and leather outfit), the infamous butterfly tattoo Barbie and various others. If friends' daughters are playing with a Barbie, I have to sit with them for a few minutes and ask them about it. I guess some things we never out grow. For me it is the ill-proportioned, classic Barbie.
