~FR~ I am not so much worried about how the doll is dressed, I take into consideration as one person mentioned the dolls perfection, in a sense, and how 'this' is portrayed upon youth, both past and present. We played with these dolls and in a sense were taught, this was how we were supposed to look, rail thin, model perfect, with perfect skin and hair and that we would only be attractive 'if' we were this way. How many aspired to be like barbie? Bleach blonde hair? Balimic? Anerexic? Extream diets? And then this lead to the celebrities...perfection of the body, vanity is what our children are taught in a sense. My point is, if a child, girls specifically, have problems of weight, blemishes, or anything else that does not fit this mold as they grow up...where does it start from? That others would look upon those differently, and it carry on into later life where instead of considering a persons personality, intellect and such... it is how they are 'physically' built..and yes, I have found this based mostly towards females, mainly as there are more then males..as I said, as I have found. And they will look towards the younger, vs. the more mature also. Again, question is, when and where did these ideas start to be apart of us? Not the clothing, is something, in my personal opinion, that is much worse. Sincerely jade
