What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"All of my Barbies were in a magical world with fairies, leprechauns, and unicorns. My favorite Barbie was Kendra, and she was a fairy thief, but usually a princess in disguise. Brad, my normal Ken, was a leprechaun prince. Mika, who was that Barbie with the first movable belly, was a barmaid fairy and worked in a bar."
