Past Memories

When I was a little girl I loved Barbie dolls.  I always loved going to the store and walking down the bright pink isle that contained all new Barbie dolls and all their accessories.  I had so many Barbie dolls I needed to huge buckets to put under my bed, and the collection didn't stop there.  I had hundreds of outfits to choose from, two convertible, a yellow slug bug, a pink truck, one huge Barbie dream house, her hair salon, Barbie's pet dogs, her horse and it's stable,  her boyfriend Ken and the rest of her family.  I never once noticed how she could be a sex image and my parents were never concerned about how playing with Barbie would change me.   I just thought that Barbie was beautiful and i loved playing with her.
