Barbie has been
-a vetenarian.
-a pilot.
-a flight attendant.
-a teacher.
-an astronaut in 1965 - long before other American female astronauts.
-a doctor in 1988.
-a NASCAR driver in 1998 (okay, not sure if this is positive or negative...)
Not such a negative image, IMHO. I think it would be doing more harm than good by refusing to let your daughter have a Barbie. I understand that she will have a new face and that the waist is larger on the Barbies to be sold this year.
Barbie will turn the big 5-0 on March 9 this year, but there's no truth to the rumor that Menopause Barbie will be for sale!
