Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Wang Nan I was long past the age where I liked to brush and sew dolls' hair, but that's when I got my own Barbie.My Barbie used to be wearing a big dress full of flowers. I bought "her" on a whim purely because I suddenly thought "she was beautiful." In fact, it was just "her" dark complexion that made "her" look uncomfortable As gaudy as any other Barbie. After buying this Barbie, I made a rule for myself not to buy any genuine accessories for "her".These accessories include "her" clothes, bed, cabinet, toys, and even "her" boyfriend Ben. I bought all of "her" clothes from a small stall.There, a gown (that is, a fancy dress) costs only five yuan, and two yuan can buy a casual suit or a large bag of shoes.Look carefully and you can also find sunglasses, bracelets, hats and socks that Barbie wore.On top of that, I even responsibly bought two pairs of panties for "her" - I naturally assumed "she" needed a replacement.

I think this buying method is very scientific: Dolls must be genuine, but clothes can be fake.Because genuine Barbie has a standard figure, she can wear any kind of clothes.It's hard to say the other way around. After dressing up my Barbie, I started looking out for other brands of fashion dolls.Another kind of fashion doll that is more numerous on the market is called Jenny, who looks sweet and small like the Japanese.Other than that, the dolls did not look like Jenny, and the ugliest one was said to be based on Wei Wei. After almost a year, I have a second color ratio.When I went shopping that day, I found that Barbie was selling 50% off, so I bought another Barbie in Chilean national costume.This Barbie is slightly taller than my original one, with a fairer complexion, black hair instead of pale gold, and dark red lips instead of bright pink.Maybe no one will believe me when I say it, but I bought "her" because I think "her" looks and dresses like a man.When I got home, I changed the old Barbie into a Spanish style red dress.Seeing "them" standing together, I think "they are a match made in heaven. I don't mean to make "them" look gay, I just think this Chilean barbie standing there is far more than that stupid Ben. pleasing to the eye.

Later, I also changed clothes for "them", asking "them" to change roles or wear skirts at the same time.What's interesting is that when I was changing clothes for "them", I found that the hip circumference of the Chilean Barbie was actually a circle larger than that of the original Barbie, so that some tight skirts seemed a bit awkward for "her" to wear. So I just played with my Barbies and watched with satisfaction, they were so well matched and prettier than all the other fashion dolls.But then one day I heard that the Barbie doll mall in Beijing had taken back all the Barbie dolls because of poor business, and no longer sell the toys.I went around the major shopping malls and found that the Ministry of Civil Affairs really did.With all the cheap but ugly fashion dolls left on the shelves, I feel bad for my Barbie.

After Barbie, I looked at a building toy called "Robotix".After being fed up with the domestically made interlocking toys with rough molds, the precise interface of this American toy immediately fascinated me.The price of this kind of toy is also very expensive, but I still try to buy its various parts, because I am very aware of the price difference between them and domestic puzzles, and I am afraid that it will be lost before I get all its parts. Crowded out of the market by other cheap toys like Barbie.
