Did you have Ken dolls? How did male dolls act in relation to your female dolls?

"I had a few Max Steel dolls. One was one of my barbies' brother, and was "dating" my favourite barbie. The other was a "badguy" and had a bunch of girlfriends. One of them would always kill the other."

"When my brothers and I played, I was always some strong heroine figure.. or the bad guy."

Did you ever cut Barbie's hair?

"I never cut their hair but my sister cut one of my Barbies hair and I was very upset at her for it. After her hair was cut she became the ugly Barbie and I rarely played with her again unless I wanted to use her as a bad character."
