1. My ship came in yesterday...

But I was at the airport.

on edit: this was meant as a joke and in no way meant to detract from your post. Good luck with it.

5. it was a good joke...reminds me of ole Rodney Dangerfield..

2. Congrats

Good luck putting that thing together. Barbie stuff is horribly made. And yes, I bought Barbies for my kids. As teens, they are now both adamant feminists. I don't think I tainted them.

3. Your telling me...Velcro ruined Barbie clothes!!!!

damn velcro ruins the fabrics...I remember the good ole days of buttons and snaps. In fact I make Barbie clothes for my kid..just like I used to make my own...I get cheap fabric scraps and voila...Barbie fashion parade!

I agree Barbie doesn't taint anyone... In make believe Barbie can be President of the US and she is a whole lot smarter than *!

12. GI Joe dolls and boys

I have 1 son and would never buy a GI Joe doll for him.

When he was about 5, he picked out a doll at a garage sale. So, I said ok.

How did he mostly play with it - and a few of the other boys in the neighborhood??

It was a male baby doll. He dressed and undressed it and rocked it to sleep and put it to bed and covered it up.

I was stunned.

13. ah...that's so sweet

14. What's wrong with Barbie?

She's a doll. Dols are toys. Toy are supposed to allow kids to imagine and indulge fantasies.

[bleedingheart]

15. I adore Barbie but I got some grief from a friend a few years ago

about how Barbie instilled the wrong ideas in girls...you know the body image, women aren't objects, ..etc argument... but hey I am a former Barbie playing gal and I grew up to be a pretty liberal feminist bleedingheart democrat..

In other words, I believe you just said that adults tend to make their own choices.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
