a little plastic thing called barbie

in todays society, barbie is not just a play thing from the past and in th future. she is this little plastic idol that some little girls today look up to. when i was growing up, barbie for me was a plaything who was really pretty and had nice hair, cool clothes, and really cool accessories. and she was also a collectible for me. i liked barbie soooo much, whenever i got a special edition barbie, i put her up hoping that years later, she would be worth something. but all of that has changed during these years. watching some of these girls turn into little plastic playthings like barbie changes the way i think about todays images of who barbie is, was, and what she will be in the future
