Every time I hear about "barbie doll" setting ideal of "perfection" I have
to chuckle - have you ever seen a barbie doll that was handed down from 
older sisters to younger sisters two/three times?  It has flat, SHORT,

hair, ripped clothes, and maybe the legs are on backwards!  But the child
will still play with it with just as much zeal as the first child who!
played with it!
