If only life were that simple and avoiding Barbie all those years would have saved me from hating my thighs and believing I was fat in junior high and high school when I was anything but.
But I digress.
Mattel is releasing a new Barbie doll next month called "Black Canary Barbie." I guess she's based on a DC Comic superhero of the same name, but she looks pretty dominatrix-like (NSFW - Mom, do NOT click that) to me.
What do you think? And what will today's Barbie teach the tweens of the 21st Century about their bodies and sexuality?
Black Canary Barbie aka "Sultry Barbie" aka "Slutty Barbie"
And "regular" Barbie.
I agree with you that looks pretty slutty to me. So it is not appropriate as a kid's toy, but for comic book fans who are adults, I guess they are old enough to make their own decisions.
ReplyDeleteBlack Canary is my favorite comic book character ^ ^;. She is defiantly not a slut, she doesn't put up with anything when guys hit on her and can kick some serious ass :). I dunno ,I just think she is so cool. But I hate that Mattel gave her natural blond looking hair because in the story she dyes it blond so it should be bright yellow....
ReplyDeleteBlack Canary Barbie is designed for adut collectors, not for kids, besides that she has been included in the black label, which especifies that those dolls are for adult collectors, so please inform yourself before attack Barbie with the same words that everyone, your post is a complete lost of time.
ReplyDeleteSilvana,
ReplyDeleteYou read the post and commented on it. Don't complain to me that your time was wasted. You chose to waste it.
Whether Black Canary Barbie has a black label or not, Barbie is still a kid's toy. Period. You and I obviously agree that this "toy" isn't appropriate for kids. So I'm not really sure what your point is.
