(
I love Barbie to this very day! I got my first "expensive" Barbie when I graduated high school (Bob Mackie Goddess of the Sun), my mom made me my one of a kind UPS Barbie (with packages and a truck), and my 6 year old daughter even got me 2 Barbies for my 30th birthday this year (one for us to play with and one to add to my collection). I still have my entire collection of 70+ and like to get my holiday Barbies out during Christmas. I can look at each of them and think back to how much fun I had playing and the countless hours I spent brushing their hair and changing their clothes. I even learned how to french braid using a Barbie (not an easy task!). Barbie has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and I still enjoy walking down the Barbie aisle with my daughter whenever possible.
