Was there any particular Barbie you asked for specifically?

"[I] asked for the spice girls barbies (cause [I] love spice girls) and the Spanish speaking barbie because it was electronic, and a few others like the one that did gymnastics."

Was there any particular Barbie you asked for specifically?

"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 don't remember. I'm sure I was excited about the Spice Girls dolls, though. I was infatuated with strong independent women back then. The Spice Girls, Charlies Angels, Destiny's Child."
