Yep… never understood the whole Barbie thing. And while I was a proud tomboy — I think this generation is getting the fact that being active and having skinned knees and perhaps a smudge of dirt of your face is as much of being a girl as any of the frilly lace outfits.

I was more of a “tomboy” growing up so the only barbie I ever owned was a Christmas gift one year from a family member who thought I needed more girly things around the house..whatever that means. It sat there in its box on top of my bookshelf never touched. I know that they are attempting to change the image of barbie such as dressing her in high paying jobs but I am pretty sure this generation of parents with think nothing more of her than the little slutty underweight girl hanging at the beach with perfect looking Ken. I can’t seem to get past that. In middle school in math class we had to recreate a life size barbie based on her toy size dimensions. I know there has been a lot of those stories on the Internet but to actually recreate it myself as a young teen was an eye opener. Thanks for the read I had a good laugh! I would love for you to check out my site with similar stories and leave a comment! http://www.parentinginmotion.com.

Thanks. I’m keeping my fingers crossed I look that good at 55, too 🙂

i remember getting a Barbie as a gift but really don’t remember playing with it. It probably got buried in the backyard by my brother (which obviously didn’t bother me!)

Having 2 girls who are now teens, we have had our HUGE share of Barbies in this house. It seems like EVERYONE thinks it’s a “safe” birthday or christmas gift…A Barbie. I hated that everyone gave my girls barbies…All. The. Time.
Sure, a couple is good…but 50? 🙁
