Mattel finally listened to Papi_Chulo. :)

Papi chulo barbi mode

Here's my favorite Barbi:

Ken doesn't have the balls to ask her for a date

Their next marketing move will probably be Ken being transgender or something.

^lol. What? Are thick women as repulsive as trannys now?

^^^^

No, not at all, I just figured that would be their next marketing ploy since there's probably as many boys playing with dolls as there are girls these days. with all these gender role reversals, little boys wearing nail polish to school, Jayden Smith wearing dresses, etc etc

That's all we need is a transgender Ken. LOL

OK gotcha. Yeah america is becoming gayer every day.

I'm more disappointed in the parents that allow and encourage that nonsense but that's for another day...

I think image is just part of it. They are probably banking on collectors who will want EVERY doll they market as well, so in Mattel's case diversity=more products=more sales. As much as the article trumps the disappearance of the thigh gap, classic barbie is not gone, she's just another option because ..... $$$kaching !

I just remembered the stripper I waited 4 hours for the other night was Barbi. Ironically, she was brunette and thick.

Ghetto Booty Barbie.

Ken with a companion doll named Biff.

Yeah - that new black-Barbie seems to have some booty - but I'm still waiting on Brickhouse Barbie

What was wrong with the original barbie? Didn't she have like DDD breasts?
