1-12-2010 @11:03AM pherrod said... girls do that with or without barbie. dn't let them read or watch tv or go to school or ever play with anyone. and even that won't take care of it.
1-12-2010 @11:52AM Petra said... So true Helene, maybe your nieces should have gone in the trash to.
1-12-2010 @11:40AM Frank said... you have as much brains as the doll if you think barbie had anything to do with your spoiled relatives.
1-12-2010 @11:57AM kay said... Maybe they found respect for each other or.... they thought dad was a nut for throwing away their dolls. And that language they did not get from the dolls. Most likely from you and your wife.
1-12-2010 @2:59PM belle said... I don't think your nieces learned to curse at each other from playing with Barbie. Read your own post carefully for proof.
1-12-2010 @9:50AM Diana said... I would have LOVED that kitchen set-up. Great idea.
Too bad the tiny pieces will be all gone in about a week! Have fun Fido :)

I think that the cooking show is a good idea, as for the skirt. have you seen the cooking show, darn I cannot remember her name. But the premis is she turns all kinds of meals to vegan. My issue isthe way she dresses. heels and plunging neck lines. As a woman who as worked in the hospitality business for over 30 years, a real chef or cook could never put in a full days work dressed like that. Popping grease, slippery floors, and her hair is down.

Unless I misremember, most counters in kitchens are waist high. Anyone playing with this version of the doll isn't going to be paying any attention to the length of the skirt.

1-12-2010 @10:39AM Kim said... Does anyone know if Barbie designs are done by men? A woman in the kitchen with a short skirt on sounds like a "man" thing to me. I hope it's not women; that would be ridiculously sad.

NOT! being a chef takes years. A lot of blood sweat and tears goes into being a chef. I'm so upset with FoodNet work and all their fake chefs and now even an iconic doll is a chef. It's not all glamor in fact 99% of it is not glamorous. Sorry I needed to vent my anger.

I agree 100% that parents have the ultimate responsibility in teaching children about "sense of self" and values etc. These dolls, both female AND male, are not based on authentic body types. As adults, we understand that and can do things to make sure our children know what real-life people in good physical condition ought to look like. I let my daughter play with Barbies, but also took her to the squadron with me on "parents' day" to see what REAL men and women who fly planes and work on aircraft in the military look like. Which ones do you think impressed her more?

I grew up in the 1970's -- girls wore their shorts and skirts that short and then some. In fact, this doll's outfit looks like it is right off "Hee Haw" circa 1970.
