Happy Birthday Barbie

Happy 50th Birthday Barbie.


I don't understand how there is so much chaos over how "unrealistic" babie is and how she is a bad role model.

did you ever wonder where all the pink and blue horses were when you were driving by fields b/c you had my little ponies? - - likely not,bc you learned that they were TOYS and not realistic.

did you think your dogs were going to talk to you b/c you watched a Disney movie with talking animals? likely not...

and what about your dolls that had totally huge heads? they weren't real either.

I think that women that don't let their daughters play with barbies are the insecure messed up ones. i think normal mom's should teach their daughters the difference between real and make believe. if your daughter grows up thinking she should look like barbie, then you didn't do your job as a parent.

All of this talk about barbie being a 'bad role model' has irritated me enough that i just had to blog. I LOVED Barbie, and definately didn't think i was going to grow up to look like one - most likely b/c i was so hung up on becoming a purple cow when i grew up - but that has already been blogged about. lol
