befriending barbie

I had no clue that Barbies or even dolls for that matter could be such a big deal. I know that there are conventions for things like super heroes, aliens, and I love Lucy, but i never would have thought they would have one for dolls.  It amazes me that there were barbie dolls back in the 60's. This article definitely filled me with information that i never knew. This would have definitely been out of my comfort zone considering i dont play with dolls.
