Looking at the latest ad for a Barbie Doll :"Bob Mackie's Moon
Goddess Barbie (She's Heavenly): a collectors doll for $200. (+ or -) ........and it made me think about the item I read once concerning the
bad press Barbie gets from Mother's who say the doll is a bad thing
to buy for young girls who view the Barbie doll as the way most men
and women want the average American woman to look ; a most desirable
but impossible figure (in most cases) to imitate.
With her tall,slim body,blond hair,blue eyes,super long perfect legs
and full breasts she is a man's fantacy sexual partner. . . . .if she
were real,instead of flesh colored plastic. Some have said that if
she were a real woman ,Barbie would be six feet tall and have 37D cup
size breasts, 34 inch waist and 36 inch hips.
Are these measurements correct? What have you read? Or do you
care?

Regarding the movie here in the year 2023, I think the producer wants to completely change Barbie's original body according to political correctness, maybe? Corporate correctness? Some contrived 'compliance'?
What most women somehow want to see in an appearance as disarming, instead of the original 1960s extremely threatening very rare bombshell appearance (that you hardly ever see).
The producer should admit all this first, right?
