More realistic Barbie to hit the market

Lammily is designed to prepresent an average girl, because 'average is beautiful' Nickolay Lamm

Here we go again - even if you're a 500-pound hunchback with a harelip it's politically correct to say that you're "beautiful" ... :rolleyes:
 
The original Barbie is SOOOO gorgeous! Love looking at her. I think she and G.I. Joe had a thing going.

I believe little girls playing with her were in love with her beauty.

This NEW Barbie is very cute....looks just like the little girls coming home from school, but not sure how they'll sell.

They're too realistic to be actual toys....more like models for kids clothing.

Well, That's no gonna help the little girls who are just now growing into the doll-playing age.

Who wants to play with a 65 year old looking doll?

Might as well play with a Cabbage Patch doll.
 
I was little when the first Barbie started being advertised, and my mother didn't like them, said they were too sexual. Luckily I never really wanted one, as I didn't play with dolls. I played with cars, trucks, and other stuff with my brother more. Haven't been keeping up with the changes. Remembered a Skipper in there too.

As a teenager, I had great fun putting one of Barbie's wigs on Ken making him a Beatle, setting them both in her Corvette and sending it careening down the hallway only to crash in a terrific Dead Man's Curve, Last Kiss scenario. Got in big trouble for that but it was always worth the fun...

Skipper; wasn't she Barbie's younger sister? Well, I was a girly girl and had one of the first barbies. And your mother was right, they were sexualized dolls for that era for sure.

But my favorite doll was totally different. A novelty one which never caught on massively; Poor Pitiful Pearl. I loved her because she was homely and I was always attracted to the under dog. The other kids would make fun of her which made me love her more:

As adults, many folks (thankfully, not all...) pay to see this stuff in movies and stop on the freeway while blocking traffic and emergency vehicles, craning their necks to see it in real life. Odd how people are sometimes.
