10. Yeah, this is an insult to Barbie.

And, yes, mostly she's blond, but I have collected a few brunettes including a Latina and an Asian Barbie -and a several black Barbie s. I make them into collector dolls - which takes a long time - but I have a Kamala Harris doll and a Nancy Pelosi doll and am working an RBG doll and a Michelle Obama doll (I don't even have all the supplies for that one - I'm aiming for first inaugural gown) and am still in the early planning stages for a KBJ - but all I need for RBG is the robe now - and I just need to make two of them.

Then they just came out with a Type 1 diabetic Barbie - and she has dark brown hair. Otherwise, she looks like every other Barbie except for the medical equipment. She may have a different name - I know the one in a wheelchair they called "Becky" (and I also have her) - but they are all made the same way so they're all Barbies to most of us.
