Barbie: Love Her or Hate Her?
Author: Caitlin
Wherever you’re from, you know who (or what) Barbie is. Every generation of American girls from the 1960s through today has, at one time or another, played with a Barbie doll. The question is, how many of us idolized her and how many despised her and everything she stood for?
On my part, I have to admit that I loathed Barbie. Oh, sure, I occasionally tried to conform by begging my Mom to get me one, then inevitably ended up cutting her hair and leaving her dangling naked over a dangerous precipice to be rescued by one of the GI Joes I stole from my brother. And no, I’m not gay.
I’m not sure why I hated Barbie so much; I loved My Little Ponies and couldn’t get enough of Rainbow Brite or Care Bears. I think it really was how she looked so ungodly abnormal, I just couldn’t get into roleplaying with something which barely resembled a human form.
But anyway, enough about me. What about you? What do you think about Barbie? Take our poll, leave a comment, let us know!
