MY PAGE OF COLLECTIBLE TOYS
Story by ZEN
I would like to dedicate the fist page to adorable barbie dolls I have in my collection.

"Speaking of "Collecting a Doll", it seems like not a boy's hobby."

It was 1996 , I guess, while I was walking in the store and saw the Toy-Show decorated with pink ribbons.  As I walked into the event, I saw beautiful dolls were well-arranged on the shelves.  I have no much idea about those dolls, but I did ask the price.  And I was stunned by the price.  Some of them were even over 300 dollars.  I asked myself

"who is going to buy a doll which costs you over 300 bucks".

BUT Gees, only god knows that was the first time I was charmed by the beautiful face of barbie doll.  As you may remember a barbie doll from late 70's.  Right, we called it as "Super Star" Sculped face.  You can see her big big smile (I can even feel she has a cloth-hanger in her mouth).  But that's not the quality you can find in Barbie these day.  Now she has a closed-mouth with mature face and body.  Anyway, I did not buy a doll on that event.  After the event, I dreamt about a doll, she has a tender smileing face with sparkle deep blue beads on her cloth.  And a big silver moon goes around her body.   I love that.  And I remember I saw her in the toyshow.  The year after I tried to find that doll, but desperately I cannot find her.  She was sold out.  That's what the first time to remind me that I should buy what I really want at the moment, not to sought after.  I started buying Barbie dolls since then.  And I've got

my "MOON GODDESS" three years later.
So I would like to share my collection with you.  I hope it will inspire you a fantasy, a dream and a hope for being a power of your life.
I would like to start the show with what I love most...

Ferrari

The last doll on this page.  She's the hottest doll in my collection.  I bought her with two reasons.  One, I love Ferrari and I am not sure I can get that car in this life so I should have her first.  Number two, she has a silver hours on her hair, and I think it's cool!
