Like alot of others, I played with Barbie as a child. Back in the early 70's, I don't recall Barbie having any brunette friends... being a brunette myself, it always *sniff* hurt me *weep* to be unrepresented in the Barbie realm. Well things have changed, and my daughter has not only a brunette Barbie (I don't know her name!) but she's Native American as well and I feel she makes Barbie look plain and boring. Heh.
