Awh, DaisyKeehl: :( I hope your cousin snaps out of it. When I was little, I had Barbies by the ton. I never thought that women were supposed to look like that, though. My mother and both of my grandmothers reminded me and my sisters often that we were fine the way we were and that you can't paint a rose.

But I feel you. It's a growing problem. Little girls have to understand that being thin isn't what makes you pretty.

I'd say, monstahh`: , if you want one, you should go get one. I felt a little weird at first, too, I will admit. When I bought them, I would say 'It's my sister's birthday' or that I was buying it for a neighbor's kid. After a while, I just didn't say anything. Then after a while, when someone would ask about them, I'd say 'Yeah, I collect them' My boyfriend is really supportive. Mainly because he collects video games. He's spend hundreds of dollars on them, so he can't really say anything when it comes to what I want to collect. He even helps me find them.

Besides, it's not like I play with them lol I take them out of the box, give their hair a little fluff and stick them on my shelf.
