Which was your favorite doll in the Barbie series? Was it Barbie herself or one of her friends?

"I liked Midge the best. I liked that she had freckles. The Midge dolls I had had wider hips and smaller breasts than Barbie did too, I thought it was cool that she had a different body shape. I also LOVED the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen Barbies. I had several versions of them."
