I can't wait to see it! I too was like what is the deal with this Barbie phenom. I used my Barbie's legs to stir lemonade. 10 years ago or so, my niece unknowingly made an interesting piece of art where Barbie was throwing her own head. I'm not sure there was any meaning behind it, but we decided it was a metaphor and Barbie was throwing off all patriarchal shackles. I think we all can work harder at embracing individuality even when it's outside our life experience or understanding.

You might have my opinion on viewing this film. But then, I didn't play with GI Joe either.
I HAVENT Seen the movie yet, but will most likely enjoy. You have a way with words Sue. Well put.
I really enjoyed this essay and will definitely see the movie. Your perspective is encouraging. Thanks.
