Just saw a barbie doll in a toy store
When will Barbie stop being anorexic, perfectly dressed, and completely made-up??
When I will i see her with chubby arms, in loose clothes, a book in hand, worn sneakers and nerdy glasses?? - REAL !!!!!!!
Somehow i feel this doll a terrible example on pre-teen girls who never seem to enjoy being who they are.... healthy, laughing, reading books and making friends, getting muddy after a game of basket-ball
The message going out there is pretty sad - that beauty is external and consists of being very, very thin and very, very made-up!!
