Saucy, I quite agree. As long as no one *makes* me buy something I don't like, why should it bother me? Barbies as such do not upset me either; I learned to sew by making clothes for mine, since I couldn't afford to buy them back then. (My mother refused to buy me a doll, though she did allow me to save my meager allowance for one, since I absolutely wanted it - but I digress...) Years later I watched my daughter playing - no, not shopping and dressing, but role-playing with whole families of Barbies/Kens/et al. Again, I sewed clothes for her dolls. Hey - I may just dig out some of those Barbies/Kens and transform them into Middle-earth characters by sewing costumes for them! Will you all promise not to groan when I'm finished and show the pictures?
