Why does barbie not have parents

Adult Written by Katrina B. June 30, I've been a Barbie girl since forever! Despite my age today which I will not mention;P I still keep up with the latest Barbie movies and admire the dolls. And I absolutely loved it! I love how hilarious it is while still being good for kids. If I were to choose only one thing I don't like is the jealousy of Raquelle and I really wish there was more stories about Barbie's group of friends and maybe some romance going on to add more guys to the group other than Ken and Adult Written by SavannahSnape K.

June 8, Had useful details. Parent of an infant and 2-year-old Written by Madeleine L. January 10, Funny, positive, light hearted So many negative comments on this page. But it's a parents job to explain just that- they're dolls and the show isn't real life. But parents need to emphasize the postive resolutions that outweigh the negatives, and explain what values are important, etc.

This title contains: Positive Messages. Positive role models. Helped me decide. Parent of a 4-year-old Written by Erin W. April 26, Not what I want my daughter learning This show is full of drama, materialism and consumerism. The characters value their stuff way too much, and the plot lines are usually centered around materialistic stories or dumb drama between the characters. Rarely is there a moral at the end of the episode. Adult Written by paola d. August 24, More than just a Barbie Show The creators of this show are very aware of the stereotypes that surround Barbie and constantly poke fun at it.

Like pointing out how she climbed mount Everest in high-heels. Many jokes revolve around how Perfect Barbie is. Barbie is surprisingly very likable besides being virtually perfect, always finding solutions to problems and being a very nice person. She actually does challenge a lot of stereotypes, similar to the Powerpuff girls, her femininity doesn't get in the way of her goals.

She's am airpilot, directs films, excellent friends, doctor, business owner while simultaneously having an endless pink closet. Her relationship with Ken is also very unique, its a role reversal in a sense, where Barbie focuses on her career, while Ken literally dedicates his life to being the best boyfriend. Her sisters have diverse interests and abilities ranging from extreme sports to building cars. Consumerism is very blatant, but so are the values of creativity, friendship, problem solving and self awareness.

I really enjoy watching this with my 5 year old. Adult Written by samturner May 22, I watch it with my younger sisters 22 and 10 and my mom and we laugh so much at how ridiculous the characters are. Bottom line — the show is silly and honestly well written clean humor.

I wish there were more seasons. Funny jokes but too focused on fashion In this show, Barbie is too focused on fashion. And Barbie's friends are too focused on Barbie and on her looks and her fashion instead of thinking about who they are and what they have and how they act.

I think Barbie is spoiled and every episode is about a tiny problem she has and she gets help right away from friends instead of being independent and solving her own problems. Barbie is a stereotype of a girl because she's into fashion, clothes, makeup and she loves pink and always wears pink and her whole house is pink.

You should also know that the animated characters look just like the dolls and are stiff and not realistic looking at all. Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures is a more realistic show. It's less about fashion and more about adventures and about other characters in the show, not just Barbie. Adult Written by themamacow January 30, Tutti and Todd have been discontinued.

The couple actually broke up in , so this was quite the separation. Barbie announced the good news where we all would Facebook comments included supportive encouragement like, "Finally! It took you long enough, girl! So happy! However, not everyone was celebrating. Lela Messick was worried that Barbie may be wasting her time. I hope it works out this time but really Danielle Burtzloff wasn't into the reunion either. I'm sure this is just coincidence, but Mattel did release a new Ken doll less than a month after this convenient reunion.

You know those moments when you just love Barbie so much, you want to eat with her? Now all you have to do is travel to Taiwan to eat at the Barbie-themed restaurant. The cafe is a place for adults and children alike. In , Mattel launched "Hello Barbie," which contained a microphone and Wi-Fi connection so that when children talked to her, the doll could respond. The problem was that the recorded children's voices were going to be saved on cloud servers.

For sure. Susan Linn said in a statement. Georgetown Law Professor Angela Campbell had major concerns as well. This information could be of great value to advertisers and be used to market unfairly to children.

In , Barbie finally moved past her insane proportions and released a new line of dolls ranging in body shapes. The Fashionistas line contains three types: small, curvy, and petite. They also come in a variety of skin colors, hair colors, and wait for it In , Mattel was in trouble for a different talking Barbie, not because she could record children's voices, but because of what she said to them.

That is, until women's groups got involved. One of the phrases said, "Math class is tough. Mattel ended up removing that phrase. Mattel president Jill E. Barad wrote a letter to the association to apologize. Barbie has never held back when it comes to her look. Designer cars, formal gowns, and stilettos are just a normal day for her. Perhaps that is why she jumped at the chance to collaborate with an unlikely pair.

The Blonds are glamorous and androgynous fashion designers who have always loved Barbie. Now it's safe to say that Barbie loves them back.

Mattel released a Barbie inspired by the designers. The Blonds are all about glamour, so Barbie was a perfect fit. Barbie has long been criticized for how thin she is. She now comes in a few new sizes, but the majority of the dolls still look like the traditional model and this doesn't seem to be changing any time soon.

Kim Culmone, vice president of design for Barbie, sees nothing wrong with her figure. She was designed for girls to easily dress and undress," Culmone told Co Design. Culmone revealed that while Barbie's figure is " a continual evolution," there is also a historical component to keep in mind. Culmone also isn't buying the fact that Barbie affects young girls and their body images.

They don't come at it with the same angles and baggage and all that stuff that we do," said Culmone. Despite Kim Culmone's best attempts at defending the ultra skinny doll, the research disagrees. From a very young age, girls want to feel thin and beautiful. In this study, girls were given Barbie dolls to play with, then asked questions about their self-esteem.
