Was there any particular Barbie you asked for specifically?

"I wanted a brunette Beach Barbie. She had the same hair color as me. I got it and she was my favorite Barbie for a long time."

Was there any particular Barbie you asked for specifically?

"I always wanted brown haired Barbies. I wasn't interested in the blonde ones. I liked ones that I could relate to. I remember really wanting the Flying Hero Barbies, though. Between my sister and I, we shared them all. I played with Teresa and Kira the most. My sister liked Barbie and the sparkly horse."
