Hi Espurr.
I used to sort my Barbie clothes and shoes and stuff.
Once during a Real Episode,I bought 200 Barbies. My reasoning was a missed childhood.
I did have a Barbie collection my grandma got me and added to it.
But I wanted snow skiing lessons and my real mom made me sell the whole collection to pay for the lessons. Bit@h.
Then the family moved to CA. And while there are nearby mountains,I didn't learn to ski.
When I was a grown up I took cross country skiing lessons. Loved it.
