Answer 1

Not a big fan of barbie dolls

Answer 2

I had a Skipper doll as a child (totally flat-chested). By the time you get around to Barbies, you're not really Barbie's mommy. You're Barbie's uber-controller; and it's a darn good thing that Barbie (or Skipper) can't get even.

Several years ago, I bought a "Becky" doll (a Barbie figure in a wheelchair) for a charity drive and a second one for myself (as I figured they might be collectors' items someday). Note: this doll is a "Paralympic Champion" Becky (complete with a medal, so you don't even have to run the race). I also bought a package of outfits for the doll which was going to the charity drive. Then, I went to lunch at the mall.

Following a nagging suspicion, I opened up the package for my Becky doll and took off her shoes. Becky has flat feet. All the shoes in the package of outfits, of course, had stiletto heels.

I called Mattel and complained: "Wheelchair Barbie doesn't get to go anywhere nice because she doesn't have any shoes?" The representative protested: "That's not Barbie, that's Becky!" (It's not just a fantasy, it's an industry. . . .) She said that the shoes for the Kelly doll would fit Becky. It sounded as though they did not fit very well. If you're buying into the fantasy, this means that you are putting ill-fitting dress shoes on someone who can't feel her feet. This is not a good idea.

I went to a local knit shop. There really is a book called "Knit For Barbie." There also is a book called "Crochet for Barbie." Add 4 stitches to the width stated in the knitting pattern, and the clothing should go on right over what Becky is wearing. Good thing, because I probably couldn't have freed Becky from her outfit without tearing it; and I really doubt that a disabled child would be able to do so, either. I bought silvery yarn and made boots and a lap robe as well.

Answer 3

Yeah I pretty much hate barbie dolls. They are very uninteresting toys, for one thing. They don't do much. They're just a place for young girls to focus their imaginations and fantasy. The problem is that barbie is a very exclusive and unattainable character - she is rich, blonde, incredibly fashionable, and her body, well, let's just say no human should ever look like that.

What is barbie good for? Giving girls something to reach for? Giving them a way to imagine that they are blonde and skinny? Teaching them how to accessorize their fashion? What?

Kids play with fantasy toys all the time. I had spaceships as a kid. I can't be a space fighter pilot now. So am I down on myself? No. I also played with GI Joes. Does it ruin my self-esteem because I'm not a soldier now? No.

But the fantasies that barbie makes girls reach for are very near to reality, just a little bit out of reach. Young girls will have clothes when they grow up, but will they be as pretty? The girls who play with barbie may own cars someday, but probably not pink corvettes. They will go to school with other kids, and some will be blonde, some will be rich, some will be skinny, some may be all 3: total princesses. Barbie teaches all girls to bow down to those girls and envy what they have.

Girls waste too much time putting on makeup and cute outfits to catch the attention of boys (and to show up other girls, too). There are lots of things that are healthy for young girls to focus on: friends, family, sports, school, whatever... but putting on makeup and prancing around is all barbie does, and all she can teach them to do.

I know there are different models of barbies. There's an african-american barbie, a doctor barbie, a lawyer barbie, etc. But those are just to make up for the fact that 99% of barbies are the rich, spoiled, blonde, ultra-skinny model. Barbie doesn't make a good doctor. All she's good at is being an airhead princess. We don't need any more airhead princesses in this world, please...

Answer 4

im not included but i don't like how they break so easily, even the actual brand barbies their arms legs and heads pop off so easy when my 5 and 6 year old girls are having a barbie smack down fest with old ninja turtles riding on my little pony (the ninja turtles are over 10 yrs old and have yet to break) i also don't like how you really cant brush or style a barbies hair it gets knotted and matted frizzy mess that's impossible to get straight ever again. when my kids have birthdays or Christmas comes around or they have helped and earned a new toy, my 1st question is always in what way could they possibly break it, most toys on the market are so cheaply made they wouldn't last even a week with them before they have somehow broke it. they broke a Rubik cube.... while they play rough they do get grounded and every toy removed sometime days at a time before they chill out and quit fighting over things.

Answer 5

Answer 6

well I know my barbie was jealous of all my friends and cosiuns Barbie's , they had fancy cars, fancy dresses, and a dream home.. All my Barbie had was hand made dresses, that "she "had brought at the second stores, a car made out of cardboard box, and she live in a cardboard box under the freeway overpass(under my bed) for years ,'she" did not tell me "she " was unhappy with her living condtions . My Barbie didn't even had Ken but she had MR.Potato Head.and Gi joe. for boyfriends.

they were ok growing up, but where Barbie was lacking in child amusement, I turned to video games. After a while, Barbie didn't exist in my world thanks to the Sega Genesis.
