SS,
I just hit "send" for the post where I asked Halle if she had thought about doing that to her sister's Barbie. Oh No! You did it to yours!
You know, now that I think about it, it seems like that did happen a lot. I know other people who cut their own Barbie's hair all off. And now that I give it a little more thought, I bet there are cases where it might not have been so much a desire to give her a new "do" as it was a result of some deep-rooted hostility toward her and her long, blonde hair, and all that other stuff she has. (I bet a shrink could have a field day with Barbie issues.)
And why didn't Barbie age along with us. I bet there would be a Baby Boomer market for that. Maybe Hormone-Challenged Barbie. Hear her say colorful phrases. See her try to fit into last summer's Capri pants. All kinds of possibilities.
