Thank you, Rob Valente.
This was a status of Rob's back in January.

| Bet you wish you had Boot-Top Swivel. I feel a song coming on. |
I had read the article prior to Rob's status. I thought at the time it was a bit over the top. I played with Barbie. I never thought I should be blonde haired, blue eyed, tiny tushed. I loved being a brunette & my tush.
But I never thought of it the way he did.
I thought he was right.
Also, why are we focusing on Barbie's looks. Wasn't Barbie the lady of many occupations?? Rock & Roll Barbie (my fav), Vet Barbie ( i believe she comes with a puppy), Executive Barbie.

| We're Barbie & the Rockers. Come on you know the words. |
But isn't focusing on Barbie's looks instead of her talents doing exactly the opposite of what real woman want? And more importantly, why are we forgetting she is a TOY!!!

| Mommy, why can't i look like a teddy bear?? |
Just some thing to think about.
I recently saw on craigslist a shortened VW bus that was painted as the mystery machine... and a full size scooby doo costume. Obviously these people really wanted to be Shaggy and Scooby Doo and succeeded, well, until they hit financial troubles and need to sell their "wanna be someone else lifestyles", or maybe they dont need the money and they are just sick of being someone else that was made up and miss being themselves. anyway, it is just a correlation that trying to be someone else that is not real ends in a sad post on craigslist, or personal issues.
