Like so many other girls my age and older, I grew up wishing I could be a Barbie doll. In 2016, Barbies might be controversial and not as popular as they once were, but when I was a kid in the early ’90s, they were everything. I had more dolls than I could count, clothes all over the house, and a three story dream house that my dad built for me. I played Barbies obsessively with my cousins and friends, making up elaborate characters and hilariously dramatic stories.
