Barbie goes international, and here in the middle east we have a middle eastern version of barbie who wears clothes like us, but i don't recommend barbie to my girls, instead i chose more related dolls to our society Best Aseel صور بنات

i never had the opportunity to have a barbie when i was young. i received my first ever barbie when i was already 20 years old from a friend who has a dozen of barbie since she collected it when she was young. personally, i don’t see any problem with kids playing barbie, not at all. barbie is just a symbol of beaty; pretty face, nice body, nice clothes, nice make up, etc., that most women would want to have. it’s never bad to be beautiful, and it’s never bad to admire barbie because she is beautiful.

I was a complete Barbie girl when I was young. Funny, my mom said I would see any kind of nicknack and say, “wow, that is GREAT for Barbies!” and off I would go with it. When I had my third child and found out she was a girl, I imagined us sitting and playing barbies for hours on end. Funny though, she never took to them… she is “not a barbie girl, in a barbie world” ha ha… No, I never felt women should look like Barbie, and I certainly don’t…. I think they are OK… especially if you look at all the Bratz dolls and how THEY look today!

I don’t see any problems with little girls having Barbies. They usually only tend to pretend to act like their Mommy and like the previous comment, I think it’s role playing.

My two little sweethearts (most of the time!) both love Barbie but obly one is what I would describe as a clothes horse…

She is the one though that is becoming more obsessed by shape…

My older daughter loves playing with dolls. I think they help grow her mind. She makes them have imaginary conversations, changes their clothes, etc. It’s creative and probably useful learning for her. It’s not always obvious to us, but creativity is important.

I have no probelm in letting my daugter play with barbie dolls , i think the dolls help her imagination and role playing. I’m not overly concerned about perception she might get from the proportions of the doll…i think that at the momment she is too young to even know that. She just sees a women as a women and not concerned with how big the breasts are etc…but i do like the idea of barbie beig made in different sizes , heights etc that would be a good idea

I played with Barbies when I was young. It didn’t ruin me for life or give me a poor body image.

We as a society just need to lighten up.
