Ain't She Sweet~ Barbie Turns 50!

[Fast Eddie's Retro Rags]

Hard to believe but that plastic dream girl, Barbie, turns 50 this month, after making her first debut in March of '59! The original pinup- at least, the original pinup doll, has proven over the years that everyone still prefers blonds! Bad news for us redheads.

Read more about it and her influence on last month's New York Fashion Week here:

The Bratz look like they could be on any one of Maury's "Who's my baby daddy" shows! Class-seee!

Oh god that's hilarious!! Bratz are hood rat skanks!! Yeah Barbie doesn't have enough street cred for the older girls - they all say barbie is for 'babies' I'm pretty sure their heads don't come off anymore so they don't get choked on. I've also had women just really livid at Barbie for their eatting disorders. Poor Barbie can't catch a break :(

Ugh, Bratz are pure evil! People used to b**** that Barbie portrayed a bad body image for little girls... but I guess playing with hood rat skank dolls is perfectly acceptable for 10 year olds? Ick. Give me old, enormo-boobed Barbie any day! :)

hehe I do promo work for mattel everytime we do something it's all the women my age fussing, it's sad but these Bratz have locked Barbie out 8-12 year olds. haha gotta love 80's Barbies
