Did you ever play with imperfect dolls?

"[I] specifically liked the damaged ones. if a leg was broken or something [I] would but a tissue and tape cast on it and make it fit with the story, me and my cousin would fight over the kelly with the broken leg"

Do you still have any of your Barbies?

"The ones I ever played with were ones I stole out of my older sister's room I was always careful to put them away where she had them stored after awhile. She either still has them stored somewhere, or gave them as hand-me downs to our cousins, or Good-will or something. Neither of us really ever collected them, though. We just played with them. Most of them were hand-me-downs, too."
