To Be a Princess...

I don't have a problem admitting that I love dolls. Truth is, I would say I have an obsession with them. I'm not exactly sure why. A lot of people think of them as being creepy. And yes, some are. My collection of dolls though, are more of a hobby then anything. At the moment, I am into the larger sized dolls. (16"-18") But when I was younger, I was much more into the Barbie dolls.

I had a ton of Barbie dolls when I was younger. I would play with them all the time. When I was about ten though, I suddenly decided I was too old for dolls. So, I gave them all away, only to find out later, that was a huge mistake. Although I couldn't get what I gave away back, I started my collection over again. I haven't gotten any Barbie dolls in several years, but that doesn't mean I don't still love them.

I used to really enjoy the Barbie movies. My favorites were "The Island Princess," and "The Diamond Castle." I had all the dolls from those movies. In fact, I still do! I collected my second time around.

Another one I really loved was a Barbie classic, "The Princess and the Pauper." One of my favorite songs in that movie was, "To Be a Princess."

But in the past 4 or 5 years, the movies have gotten worse. I've only seen a few, and I wasn't impressed. In fact, just recently a Barbie movie came out, "The Princess and the Popstar." I haven't seen it, but I heard one of the songs, and nearly broke out in tears. Hear for yourself...

They ruined the song!! I'm sorry if I'm making a big deal about this, but I hate it when someone changes something that was perfectly fine to begin with.

How about you? Have you ever liked something, and then it was changed for the worse?
