What were your obsessions growing up?

As I child I loved hats and dressing up(so basically nothing has changed).  I also loved to read, especially the Baby Sitters Club.   I always loved playing with Barbies and all kinds of craft projects.   I did ballet my entire childhood and I was always busy idolizing the elegant dancers, the beautiful costumes, and admiring and relishing in the dedication and discipline dance takes; from daily practice to point shoe preparation.
