How did you feel about Barbie as a kid? Did you like her? Hate her?

"I LOVED her. I also loved these other dolls I had (I think they were called Get Real Girls or Get Real Dolls?) that were all like soccer players or scuba divers. They were really muscular and came in a wider variety of body shapes and races than Barbie did."
