Do you remember doing anything violent to a Barbie doll?

"I'm not proud of it-- but I defaced my Britney Barbie pretty horrifically. It's just that I didn't want the doll. I don't know why anyone thought I'd want it. But I think I also ripped Ken's head off. It was squishy. I put it back on but he never looked the same."
