How Barbie Got Her Groove Back

Whether you like Barbie or not, the video that goes with this is very cute

While times may have changed, Barbie remained paralyzed in her problematic past – a misogynistic world of pencil-thin waistlines, ice cream shoppes, spending all night fretting with her hair and make-up and trying to prevent not-quite-boyfriend Ken from turning gay like we all assumed he was going to do.

But no longer! Barbie’s latest ad campaign suggests that Mattel may have finally figured out what little girls of the new millennium want.

I know Barbie didn't pursue Blue Collar professions. However, why not. She was launched when people admired discipline and glamour. Barbie was slender, attractive, and did fun and glamours things. Times changed and now she can do many things. I think it depends on what the girls would imagine their Barbie interested in doing and being.

Barbie Secrets:

She did maintenance on her own car. Ken had no clue!

She did maintenance on her own home. No men around.

She did all her own furniture construction with the help of Skipper.

She also made her own jewelry. So no one else would have the same style.

She did much more, but she kept it to herself. She is a true woman!

Nicely done, Mattel. How refreshing.

I still have some Barbies. They are just cute, though, and dressed in pretty outfits and like to sit in their yellow VW Bug. (It has no emission problems, you see.)
