Quinceanera Barbie Doll 15th Birthday 2000 Mattel 50285

I have been looking forward to my quinceañera since I was a little girl. It is a very important day for my family and me. It is more than the celebration of my 15th birthday; it means I am no longer a little girl, but a young woman with many new responsibilities to my community. A special muñeca or doll dressed like me symbolizes this passage from childhood.

Quinceañera comes from the Spanish quince which means the number "fifteen," and años which means "year." Different Latin cultures celebrate quinceañera in different ways. My family celebrates with a big party or fiesta after a special Mass with food, music, dancing and presents.

There will be a picture of me as a little girl displayed and a fancy cake. I will be presented in my beautiful dress or vestido that was made especially for me. I will dance the first waltz with my father, and then a dance with my escort or chambelán de honor. It is such a wonderful celebration with all of my family and friends around me!
