"My relationship with Barbie was absolutely love, absolute door. And I've never stopped loving her," she says. "I think she was my first piece of sentimental garbage because I just, I totally adored her." Her parents were comfortable in middle class and had a very healthy approach to toys; Barbies were for Christmas or birthdays. She remembers the first time she ever used the Internet as an eight-year-old: 'It was beautiful'
We're coming back off break to offer our opinions on the most formative Sentimental Garbage there is, Barbie. Caroline and Jen talk about their early memories of Barb, Greta Gerwig's new movie, the hunk-to-hero trajectory and the ascendancy of Ryan Silly Gooseling.
