On Childhood Obsessions


Remembering When.

For me, an after school shop at the local knickknack store, Toys R Us, or Park Slope's long-time favorite, Al's Toyland, meant one thing and one thing only: barbie dolls. I predictably made a beeline for the only aisle that ever had meaning to me, and scanned the options like a kid in a candy store. Heart Barbie with the puffy sleeves; Peaches n' Cream Barbie with the flowing peach dress; Astronaut Barbie with the space helmet; I needed and (eventually) owned them all! Enjoy.
