"Teen Skipper, because she came with green hair mascara and I liked the idea of giving them wacky coloured hair. Also, Ariel dolls/Ginger Spice doll or any one really that was different - I liked the ones that didn't fit in with all the hundreds of other blonde Barbie dolls. More often than not, I did get these dolls."

Was there any particular Barbie you asked for specifically?
"I specifically remember wanting a Barbie that came out in...probably 1995 or 1996? A Barbie in a wheelchair. I wanted this Barbie very badly because, as a child, I was very concerned with having a widely diverse population of Barbies. However, my mom apparently thought I shouldn't have this Barbie because, even though I asked for it for my birthday AND Christmas and also showed it to my mother every time we were in the store, I never got it. (Of note, my mother also generally refused to buy me Barbies of color, even though I asked. I had to recruit friends and extended family members to get me these dolls.)"
