We were handed down a bunch of barbie and barbie-type dolls (oh and one creepy yul brenner look alike!). My first instinct was to shriek in abhorrence, but then I looked into my daughters gleaming eyes–she was in love! She wanted to dress and undress them from their dated, tattered outfits, and began to play with them like a typical girl who plays with barbie dolls. I shouldn’t be so hard on barbie and her kind. I just have to keep a watchful eye for stereotypes and maybe suggest that cinderella barbie and punk barbie could be girlfriend-girlfriend.
