I understand that one. One of my cousins is into Barbie big time. From early on she had what seemed like an endless supply of them and she played with them. Latter on she turned that into collecting. Getting the speciality barbies and even by some freak encounter had a big time designer make her a couture (spelling, fashion word, umm hand sewn one of a kind) barbie outfit made, accessories and even shoes.
