"My best friend had the Barbie house. That had such a WOW factor!! Later on when we were around 16 an other friend and i started turning them into a creepy kind of deal. Like car crash Barbie. We didn't have much anger in us, but we did both feel, at that age especially, that it wasn't an icon we wanted to measure up to."
