Even Barbie wants you to be more than a vixen
January 12, 2010 No Comments
With the Barbiefication (that’s my word, don’t even try it) of American femininity going on now. It’s vewy, vewy (Elmer Fudd voice) interesting that even Mattel, the Dr. Frankenstein behind the Barbie doll, is pushing a new campaign to have her take on new occupations as a way to transcend the dim-witted blonde arch type so prevalent in mainstream portrayals.
This comes at a time in pop culture where Barbie is enjoying quite a resurgence.
They give you Barbie, the rock star, but also, the kid doctor, and the race car driver, and they all got clothes on (go figure).
Wonder if this translates to the streets (or to Twitter), or better yet, the music?
