it's great the way designers are stepping out of their field of humans into the plastic world, but maybe they don't realize that this move could frantically hurt the self image girls have even more desperately.
BARBIE WAS FIRST CREATED AS A SEX TOY FOR MEN NAMED LILI IN GERMANY...

 i bet this never crossed your mind that the barbie sleeping in your storage was once a sex symbol.
girls in china day today are working all day long labors just to create her body.
girls are starving to be like her.
girls are getting operations to become her.
girls wish they had blond hair and blue eyes.
girls are influenced everyday by her...  & perhaps its time we stop this.
why isn't her body structure sculpted with curves. her body is so out of proportion that she wouldn't be able to survive as an actual women, or get her period or give birth. 
we have made barbie to destroy all means of normality.

POINT BLANK =
Instead of spending consuming time to put fabric on a barbie, add a brand name, and earn an expensive profit, why don't we ban child labor in 3rd world countries, and make barbie a doll that could actually function as a woman.
