How did other people influence the way you played Barbies?

"I think my best friend at the time influenced the way I played with my Barbies all the time. She was very out going and loved dancing and horse riding, I liked to play indoors or look for insects in the garden. She had a lot of activity Barbies were mine were more homely. If anything she introduced me to Barbie camping."
