No, I never did get a Barbie. But I made sure that my daughter had all the Barbies she wanted - along with a car, clothes, etc. for them.
I begged for a Barbarie and finally got one--the first one ever made. she is now worth a fortune. I still have my daughter's Barbies, clothes, car, house, furniture, etc. She is now 23
Hmmmmm, guess I'm not over the disappointment. It's only been 50 years - time to move on Sara!
