Barbie,,, WHY OH WHY ???

Wondering why Barbie has to look like such a Bimbo.??? seriously... WHY OH WHY does she have to have SO MUCH MAKEUP on ???? ! ! ! ! What kind of example is this setting for our LITTLE girls ??? Annoying...... Truly annoying.

I mean really,,, First off,,,how many average women,, especially MOMS look like that ?? And if you do,, sadly,, in our society your not taken seriously. If you wont admit it,, I will. if you see someone walking down the street in the clothes, hair and makeup the typical barbie has on,, the first thought in my mind is ...... Bimbo... Sorry.. Im always honest,, even if it seems brutal. So .... Thats my brutal honesty...
Secondly,, even if youve been blessed enough to have THAT figure,,, how many women wear that much make up on a DAILY BASIS and wear clothes like that while working, or doing daily chores??? I'ts sad... and again,,, poor example. COME ON ! We all dont live in Beverly Hills ! ! !

I know,, I know,, some are going to say,,Im being closed minded and judgemental,, but no,, Im being honest and realistic. Some also would say,, its not Barbies job to teach your children values,, its the parents,, and with you my friend,, I would agree. But thats my point precisely,, that IS the message and values I am desprately trying to teach my daughter on a daily basis and its just REALLY FRUSTRATING that I feel like Im at battle with the world on this on a DAILY BASIS...

For example: Lily and I were paging through one of her awesome Barefoot books the other day and the lil princess had glasses,, messed up hair and no make up on. Sadly,, Lily asked,, "Whats wrong with her ??? Then I had to try to explain NOTHING she looks "normal"... I am constantly trying to convey the lesson to her that beauty is on the inside and not encompassed in how much makeup u have on,, the price of your jewelry or your wardrobe..... or how "fancy your hair is....How is it,, that me,, the mom who tries to convey this message to my daughter on a daily basis has a daughter who STILL thinks this ??? What does that mean all the other little girls whose parents choose to ignore this lil known fact...

Sadly of course this is the society we live in....and it makes me wanna barf...............
