Where in the World is Bob Saget?

Just so you know, Sunshine, I did a search for your posts so I could help, and my wifi went for a carp.
I tried. Had to reboot.
@MOXOMUMD (and @Zweiland) are the best for taking you to the next level.

That's okay m'dear. Thanks for trying. @MOXOMUMD got me to 6,000. Thank you likes are coming...

I don't get what the big deal is about needing her to look real. I don't think any of us as kids said, "Oh look, Barbie, someday we must grow up to look exactly like her!"

Exactly. And given that you and I represent two different generations, we must be right!

If I want to dress a toy with a flat chest and big middle section, I have Mr. Potato Head.

You don't?

Hrm...

You don't love Carly Rae Jepson?
Everyone loves her. She's adorable.

It's not 'cause she's Canadian, is it?

I wasn't aware she was Canadian. I would just be happy never hearing that one song ever again.

Also I'm picturing a wicked stepmother doing The Nanny laugh and I would not want to experience that in person.

Out for a bit. Have to drive Son #2's GF home.
If I don't log back in, have a good night everyone.

Her manager is the Biebs.
Now that's the reason to hate her - if she weren't so adorable!

Pfft. Drive her home? I hope she is paying you gas money at least!

Bestie and I had an entire conversation about this in WDW. Both of us think that the whole "she must look real thing" is ridiculous. Both of us played with Barbies. To me, Barbies look far less ridiculous than the Bratz dolls that were on the shelves when we were younger.

That's hysterical.

Oh those people exist. They are on hand 24/7 to do Today Show special reports whenever a story about Barbie and body image pops up.

My ex and I are both adamant that our child will not play with Bratz dolls. She does have a rather decent collection of Barbies. Even more Disney Princesses (those little rubber dress up sets) and Legos though.

Make up an issue. Make money. Laugh as you cash your check after taking advantage of those with poor body image / self-esteem.

Yes...those people make me sick.

Yes, but note how these people are all adults! Kids realize that Barbie is not real-looking and that her body is essentially unattainable. Well, everyone, except maybe her...

What is up with those lips? They look like implants.

 

[englanddg]

Note, they don't say anything about this...in fact, I've seen comments (on more political sites I troll...er...hang out on where Elsa is praised as a role model...)

All I have to say is...

She's just creepy. Photoshop and surgery goes a long way though.

I don't blame you; my parents were also adamant that I would not play with those (not that I wanted them; I thought they were ugly) and there's no way that if I had a child that I would want her playing with them. Barbies I will be handing down, as well as my extensive collection of Barbie-like princess dolls.

I had the pleasure, at the time, of still working for CEC when Bratz really took off. I got too see their DVDs, etc...

It's a terrible franchise. May as well just let your kid watch Jersey Shore all day.

Agreed, so glad that my cousins' girls are all into Barbies.
