Now that Barbie is over 50, when will she get celluite? How about a few gray hairs? At least make a doll who is a real role model, one who isn’t (thankfully) perfect. I never cared much for perfection, since it doesn’t exist. Perhaps Mattell could enter the new centuary with a new attitude about women, one that reinforces her hardworking, spiritual and mental capabilities, the anti-Karadashian doll that we could relate to better, and our little girls would truely love.
