I have a Pinterest page of Barbies and I think I have already snagged over 20,000 photos of Barbies. They are so detailed, and brought my imagination out in full force. I did not give them up when my twin did; I never wanted to give them up.

Yup. That captures two sisters alright. And those Barbie Dolls sure do bring back memories, not all of them so good, I must say. (Are Barbies still around? Or has the 'righteous Left already banned them?) ~ Gershon

Pretty sure they're still around...My three sisters played with Barbies. I being the oldest, on the other hand, was taught to sew (strips of fabric for rugmaking) at age 3 by my grandmother...

It was a fun fantasy, but one needs to move on up. Good one.

Yes. One of my sisters is still a barbie and we love her. We're six siblings and all so very different.
