I have friends who actually buy the following dolls for their kids.... There are all kinds of outfits for them out there. They have even gotten some face time in books recently.
Neat concept to impress that not everyone wants a Barbie, or to look like one.

I know that. But the idea that the barbie designers and the people who make the molds for the plastic actually sat down and made a visible ribcage on a children's doll. They must be sick in the head.If someone's role model is a plastic doll, they have far more serious issues than the toy itself.
I have Bop N' Beep in blue and green! They remind me of funky looking dog toys.I have friends who actually buy the following dolls for their kids.... There are all kinds of outfits for them out there. They have even gotten some face time in books recently.

Ok, those are pretty disturbing in and of themselves. LOLOriginally Posted by jenn_librarian
Obviously, no child consciously says, "My role model in life is going to be this plastic doll!" However, we as a society are bombarding our young daughters with subconscious messages like the one our friend Barbie here is sending ... you must be thinner, prettier, have more stuff. Especially thinner. And the folks who would make light of that need only to look at the astronomical rise in eating disorders over the last few decades, not only amoung college or high school students, but middle school and grade school kids. NO eight year old should think she is "fat" if her ribs don't show. NO eight year old should even be thinking about things like that, period.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
