Befriending Barbie

This essay about the popularity and special meaning Barbie has was quite intesting to me. Being a guy, I knew Barbie exsisted but would have never guessed that there were collectable Barbies much less that they were popular. Also, I had never heard of a Barbie convention. Honestly when I saw the title I was dreading doing this blog, however after reading I had a new perspective on a subject that I didn't know anything about. One of the key things in the story is where you hear people using Barbie to get though difficult times in their lives. This story helps me because many times I will get a subject that I don't want to write about, but this proves if you just give it a chance and look into it a little more maye it won't be as bad as you think.
