Comments on: Eat a Sandwich, Barbie http://curvature.wordpress.com/2007/04/25/eat-a-sandwich-barbie/ Musings of a Rubens Woman Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:58:58 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jessica http://curvature.wordpress.com/2007/04/25/eat-a-sandwich-barbie/#comment-2524 Jessica Thu, 09 Jul 2009 03:49:47 +0000 http://curvature.wordpress.com/2007/04/25/eat-a-sandwich-barbie/#comment-2524 What is wrong with you? Barbie was created to help young girls with the transition of physical changes accompanied with the onset of puberty. Check out 'Barbie Nation' sometime when you can take time away from your ridiculous rants on Barbie and how bad she is for the world. Children that are at the age where they are playing with Barbies shouldn't even be thinking about body image. Maybe if our society didn't make it into such a big deal, children would stop making it into such a big deal. And rather than criticizing a toy, maybe you should start by criticizing all of the models and celebrities out there that are actually the ones having an impact on body image. I have never heard of a child looking up to Barbie, but I know that every child out there looks up to somebody famous. So before you keep rambling on again, maybe you should know what you're talking about first. What is wrong with you?

Looked more like someone having a bit of fun, to me. I thought your comment about “someone with no life” was mean. Looked more like someone having a bit of fun, to me.

But we can always agree and agree to disagree cause im not gonna tell someone there opinion is wrong. anyway I agree the "fat barbie" is more real and I wouldnt mind buying ti for my daughter if I ever have one. But Barbie is a fantasy item and its what people want to see, though you hate the term Im used ot saying it I love bbw's(lowercased it for ya) and in reality there arent many women who are under 140 that I notice anyway. I might book mark this site and would love to here a response from you; email me. SOunds like a good idea. kinda pressed for opinion after reading your lil BBW thing on how you hate the word.

The Body Shop's website has an entire detailed personality for her which basically only exsists so that we are aware that Ruby is the most intelligent doll possible. She apparently has a degree in World Beauty. Unfortunately, she wasn't a practically-made doll but computer generated. I think it's time the body shop re-ran the same ad campaign but with actual dolls for sale. I know I'd buy one!
