Dolly Dilemmas


 It's Monday! After the weekend of relaxing/karaoke/housework/whatever, I know the brain is often in go slow mode. So I will keep the post simple today for all the brains whose batteries have not yet fully recharged.
Last week I gave you a post about pregnant Barbie and this week I'm back to share some of the other controversial barbie dolls that you may or may not have heard of.
Easy on the eye, easy on the brain. HAVE A GREAT MONDAY EVERYONE!


Here is the already familiar pregnant Barbie


Here is wheelchair bound Barbie. The controversial doll was meant to teach children about living in a world among people with disabilities. Thumbs up!


Bald Barbie, the symbol of breast cancer survivors everywhere, comes with a collection of wigs. As a breast cancer supporter I also admire this concept of Barbie as a strong woman of the world. Who needs hair? 

Fat Barbie.  I think I understand the logic behind this to be that big women are beautiful, but this photo alone encourages a negative image of big women. I'm not sure if the fries and hamburger were included but I think someone got fired over this one.


Tattoo Barbie. Barbie is a pop princess with her bold blunt bob in pink and a cascade of tats on her shoulders and neck. This one was an incredibly controversial doll that raised the question of what are we really teaching young girls? Are we teaching them NOT to be stereotypical or are we teaching them it is cool to get inked from an early age?

More of Tattoo Barbie's tatts. I think there is a doll that also comes with removable tats so barbie can switch up her tat style until she finds the one she likes best.

Zombie Barbie. Enough said.


Psycho Barbie.  Comes with decapitated Ken - Okay, I confess, this twisted version of Barbie IS NOT on the market, but I did wander across quite a few scenarios for the crazed version of the doll. If you have an inquiring mind, you can google psycho barbie for yourself and see some of the queer imaginations of adults.
