Skanky New Barbie Making Waves

[honeychile]

As someone who used to collect Barbies, the whole problem is that Barbie is named after Ruth Handler's daughter. Any image of the Barbie or Ken dolls (Ken is Ruth's spawn, too) is usually shot down fairly quickly.

Just because a bunch of "stars" have bad self images until they get plastic surgery doesn't make it right. Barbie can do better - but the best way to express your opinion is to simply not buy the doll.

Good point. I agree. I still don't get why Barbie showing cleavage trumps the Bratz dolls on the skanky meter.
