Arrg! I'm starting to go a little cross-eyed from staring at the computer so
long, but I'm going to try to finish this article before I pass out. :o)
While going through back issues of the Times, I found an article about Barbie.
The girl who wrote the article wrote nothing good about Barbie. I'm here to
stand up for my childhood friend.
NOTE: I'm currently reading "Forever Barbie," so this idea comes from
there.
Barbie is skinny. Very skinny, in fact. Why? Well, if you have ever cut the waist of a
pair of pants or a skirt, you would see 4 layers of fabric in there. Barbie's
original waistband had
4 layers of fabric too. On a human, that's perfectly reasonable, but when you
slap four layers on a tiny doll, she looks, well... pregnant. So, they made
Barbie's waist tiny so she looks just skinny with clothes on.
Yay for Barbie!!
