“Barbie is ubiquitous with our culture. She is every person, she is everyone,” says Naugle."Anyone can find a Barbie for them." “My husband and I have been involved in the gem and mineral business for 20 years,” says Naugle. “At the Tucson Gem Show I was inspired to do a Barbie diorama, the Barbie Reiki Healing Center.”
