After the announcement that Mattel was producing a collector's edition AKA Barbie for the sorority's centennial, I went to the Barbie site to check some other brown-hued collector dolls that have been released recently (that's Disco Barbie to your left). Fully expecting to scoff at the ridiculous Barbies with their unrealistic straight and long hair and their self-esteem-killing, impossibly-tiny waists, I found my internal seven-year old oohing and aahing at page after page instead. The Byron Lars Collection was especially compelling. Mad at myself.
