Barbie is turning 50 today
They say a barbie is bought three times every second... (i dont know how they come up with this) However, after reading and finding out her Measurements have not changed. Except in 1990 something her waist was enlarged by i think two inches....
The question is. Do you think Barbie has helped or made worse the way little girls think of themselves? Why do you think that? Do you think it would be better for Barbie to change her measurements? as a bonus do you agree with Tattoo Barbie (you get to choose the tattoos for her to wear they are the washable kind?

My DD was never really into playing with Barbie. She had mostly boys in the neighborhood to play with and so was more or less a tomboy.
I think Barbie is only one of many many images that young girls see every day, so by herself she is not a big problem. I think the cumulative message that girls get about needing to be super thin is a problem. I hear very young girls worrying about being "fat" when they are anything but!

I am a 56 year old woman who, despite all these arguments about measurements, body image, and tattoos, still think that Barbie is the BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED FOR LITTLE GIRLS!
The question is. Do you think Barbie has helped or made worse the way little girls think of themselves?
