The world is in the toilet and all she is worried about is a doll with a low cut top! <br /><br />At least in America you have the choice to buy or not a doll like that. Here in Ireland only a limited range is supplied in the shops and no stores carry any of the Barbie basics lines and if you ask could they order it in for you and you are willing to pay, they say they cannot even though they must be dealing with Mattel on some level to order the dolls in the first place!

She is just contradicting herself, didn't she realize that when she chose to wear that top for this particular interview? It never fails to amuse me when this sort of thing happens :D<br /><br />People need to stop blaming TOYS for low self esteem in a child. This is like blaming video games for violence, there are children who can differentiate reality from fantasy and yet there are adults that can't. Its the parents' job and not that of toys to make sure that their children grow up with a realistic mentality. I grew up playing with Barbie dolls nearly every day with my sister (I collect them now) yet we understood the difference between Barbie's image and our own.<br />And like some have already said, most of these "controversial" dolls are not created with young girls in mind, they are created specifically for adults.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24353731.post-58245768864627115292010-06-21T08:51:13.663-04:002010-06-21T08:51:13.663-04:00That's so funny when you consider that I'm...That's so funny when you consider that I'm seeing the Mother's chichi's totally hanging out of her low cut top!<br /><br />I've played with Barbies since I was 5 or so and she's never been a role model.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. If you don't like Barbie, don't buy her. But certainly, don't blame her for the lack of self-esteem on the part of our nation's girls. My girls played with Big Bird but never bemoaned the fact that they didn't have feathers, orange feet and a beak!Melodyhttp://www.EverBeautiful.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24353731.post-46124309414206735802010-05-26T22:15:03.158-04:002010-05-26T22:15:03.158-04:00My wife collects Barbies, but I continue to be mys...My wife collects Barbies, but I continue to be mystified by some people's hostility toward Barbie.Marcus Goodyearhttp://goodwordediting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24353731.post-76935604454335270352010-05-25T15:33:27.601-04:002010-05-25T15:33:27.601-04:00I agree with your assessment... placement in the s...I agree with your assessment... placement in the stores or a sign that indicates this line of dolls is for adult collectors is more appropriate than pulling the the dolls from the shelves. <br /><br />Girls will probably disrobe the dolls anyway and expose all their goodies. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24353731.post-89418881176542137892010-05-25T10:51:56.390-04:002010-05-25T10:51:56.390-04:00terrorizing via underwater swimming LOL that's...terrorizing via underwater swimming LOL that's awesome!Dolls of Colorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720116692944814805noreply@blogger.com
