[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, as a short, stocky girl, I really didn't appreciate Barbie-encouraged body norms. I starved myself, but ultimately, I was still short and broad, even when bony, and Barbieness was unattainable. [/quote] 100 times, this! I’ll add that I’m not a white girl either so Barbie did not hit. The fact that they diversified the line a few years ago was a long time coming.[/quote] I only had two Barbies in the early 80s. One was the traditional blond, but the other one was black. I'm white and chose the black Barbie because she was pretty and had a nice dress. They both dated tall stuffed animals and a very short He-man , wore homemade dresses made of strips of fabric wrapped around their bodies, and lived in milk crate houses. [/quote]
