Barbie Dolls: The common toy of young girls who love fashion and playing pretend. But what's the message these dolls are giving these girls? In English class today we read a short story about two poor girls who loved Barbie dolls, but had to wait until Christmas to get new ones. They even had to beg their parents to take them to a discout sale of dolls that were burned in a warehouse fire. Thus came stories of loving these dolls when little, but then resulting in putting said dolls in the microwave or tearing their limbs off when older. My teacher then asked us what was the purpose behind the story. You know what I think: Barbie dolls are one of the things that cause girls to become anorexic and bulimic (sp?). They're tall, skinny, nice-assed, and big-boobed. So here's this little girl with one of these in her hand thinking, Why am I not like this? End of discussion.

In other news, (hopefully) my friend is gonna find out if my crush likes me or not. Knowing my luck, he'll probably say no despite the signs and everything will go up in flames -_-

Namaste.
