How my brother, Douglas, became a Barbie expert.(The Providence Journal)
Now that Barbie's creator has died, a lot has been written about the doll's impact, with a billion sold since 1959.
But I wanted a more specific picture, so I called the most seasoned Barbie expert I know.
My brother, Douglas.
He is a businessman who spent most of his adulthood snowboarding, rock climbing and chasing women.
Then something happened that altered his life.
No, not getting married. That was minor.
It's what happened after he got married.
