An 11½-inch doll dominates Madison Bednar's world.Besotted with Barbies since she was a toddler, the Oakley 10-year-old has amassed a collection she says is too large to count.
That trove of toys grew even bigger late last year when Madison collected the grand prize in a national contest held by the manufacturer of the iconic doll.
"I still can't believe it to this day that I won!" said the Laurel Elementary fifth-grader.
Madison beat an estimated 200,000 other hopefuls in Mattel Inc.'s "Doll for a Day" promotion to receive an all-expense paid trip to company headquarters in Southern California, where she helped design a doll in her likeness and received a bounty of other Barbie booty.

Madison was VIP for the day and was prepped to have a Barbie made in her likeness, and in November she received her Barbies and a book of photos of her experience. (Dan Rosenstrauch/Staff)
