  • elbowfarmer, on 09/17/2008, -2/+231To address a couple of comments here, I made this doll up as part of an assignment in a design class. We were to take a product and redesign it. The body of the doll is from the pregnant Midge doll that was on the shelves a couple of years ago. She had a magnetic "womb" that could come off and reveal a tiny baby inside. I thought it was kinda creepy at the time. The head is from a My Scene barbie, Mattel's attempt at imitating the Bratz dolls.
    If you want to see a more complete image of the product, I have a small movie generated from powerpoint that you can see at my portfolio site, http://ninawesterberg.com/Barbie.ppt.mov

    Thanks for the diggs--I had no idea this would get any attention!
  • bananasluggy, on 09/17/2008, -4/+174Actually, I want to know about Barbie's mom. I mean really. She must be the worst piece of white trash out there... her daughter can't make up her mind as to what she wants to be (McDonald's worker one day, scientist the next...). Mom keeps popping out kids and dumping them on Barbie and her rich boyfriend to take care of... Ken can never really get up the nerve to actually marry Barbie, he just keeps leaving her at the altar time and time again. He's as much of a flake as Barbie is when it comes to career choices.... As for Blaine? No wonder Barbie left Ken... and she's still got to take care of her sisters because her mom is probably strung out on who knows what... at least Blaine is a nice change of pace for Barbie. Maybe he'll be able to keep a job for more than an afternoon.

    You'd think with Barbie and Ken being together for so long, they'd have gotten married and had children of their own, rather than Barbie dragging out her abandoned siblings, and Ken dragging around his abandoned siblings, off to a fun day at the Zoo... how do they explain it to Midge? "Yeah, these aren't ours... they're our siblings..."

    And poor Midge... she had to finally show up her friend Barbie by getting married and having a kid way before Barbie managed to do it (you can't even take her ring off, she's that loyal.) Barbie had the blond hair and the looks, but in the end, Midge got the loyalty, the family, and the cutie husband.

    (Really though, Barbie can't be allowed, on a marketing level, to get married for real, have sex for real, or have children for real. It makes adults nervous, having to explain stuff like that to their kids. They'd rather leave that up to their peer group....)

  • Bittermanscolon, on 09/17/2008, -5/+97Gotta be a gag.
  • chanop, on 09/17/2008, -3/+80You put way to much thought into this
  • elbowfarmer, on 09/17/2008, -0/+66Not trying to say anything really. I made up the doll and the packaging (this was a design project for a class) and the complexion comes in part from poor lighting in the photo. I got her body from a pregnant Midge doll and her head from a My Scene barbie, both packaged as caucasian as far as I could tell.
  • bigdee973, on 09/17/2008, -26/+91IM SARAH PALIN... AND I APPROVE OF THIS DOLL!!!
  • angryfirelord, on 09/17/2008, -3/+60Dude, that's just messed up.
  • inactive, on 09/17/2008, -0/+51I think we can rule out Ken as the father.
  • asnider, on 09/17/2008, -2/+51And now that this has been made public outside of your class, prepare to be sued by Mattel.
  • inactive, on 09/17/2008, -24/+69Is this the new made-for Palin Barbie?
  • inactive, on 09/17/2008, -0/+41"pump her left arm and she pukes! pump the right, her water breaks! we've even included a set of miniature legal documents you can send to us and we'll send you barbie-money child-support every month!" **


    ** child support will actually come once every other month and gradually stop coming all together.

  • dtstuff9, on 09/17/2008, -1/+31What?!?! So no spending money from the cheque you got from your job at the theatre in the centre of town, 2 kilometres away from the festival of colours. That's my favourite thing to do when it's a beautiful 25°C outside.

  • inactive, on 09/17/2008, -1/+12thanks, captain obvious
  • ayeroxor, on 09/17/2008, -4/+15In America, we don't use French spellings. It's 'theater', 'center', and 'check', etc.
  • kateyall, on 09/18/2008, -0/+10Yeah, I just did. So the ***** what?

    That happens when you have babies.
  • asnider, on 09/17/2008, -1/+11I don't know about this doll, but I know that there are real Barbie dolls that are labeled as "ethnic."

    I used to work at Zellers (which, for those outside of Canada, is basically just like Wal-Mart) I was stocking the toy department and noticed that the price tag for Barbie's little sister and her white friends was different from her little sister's black, asian, etc. friends.

    One tag said: Skipper & Friends - $2.99
    The other said: Skipper & Friends (ethnic) - $2.99

    Same price, but a different SKU and product description for the toys that aren't white? If each character had it's own SKU, I'd understand, but that wasn't the case.
  • stellamaris, on 09/17/2008, -0/+9I think we were supposed to not know Barbie's "real age". Sometimes my barbies were moms, sometimes they were in high school. In order to keep Barbie play as flexible as possible, they didn't want to pidgeonhole her into one role.

    I remember when Stacy came out, it was a big deal (I really wanted one for Christmas. I think I was 6 or 7). Then a few years later the toddler (Kristy?) came out too. Even though they were supposed to be "kid sisters", they were always Barbie's kids to me.
