BARBIE GIRL

My three-year-old daughter recently received a Barbie doll. The doll has golden, tinsel-like strands among her long blonde hair. I, too, have the odd silvery grey strand of hair and was told excitedly by my daughter, “Mummy, you’ve got sparkly bits in your hair, just like Barbie!” If only I had a figure like hers too!
