what if a barbie

"The positioning from the very first commercial
was that she was a person.
We never mentioned that she was a doll"
on the marketing of Barbie
Barbie is a teacher, of expectations,
materialism, body shape, style, fashion.
She demonstrates a type of social power,
showing where it comes from, and how to
gain access to it.
Barbie is an indicator of social fears,
an image of a human being,
a symbol of feminity,
a model,
a doll,
a toy,
a tool.

I ENJOYED VIEWING YOUR BARBIE PAINTING ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IT DISTURBED ME. BARBIE WAS MORE THAN JUST A DOLL TO ME. SHE WAS A FRIEND, AN IDOL AND SOMEONE WHO I THOUGHT I WANTED TO BE. IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I'VE PLAYED WITH HER, SO I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST A PART OF MY PAST. SEEING YOUR PAINTING, HOWEVER, QUICKLY REMINDED ME THAT SHE WAS STILL PART OF MY LIFE, PART OF ME.
