I think it's very inappropriate, Barbie has a reputation for being a good wholesome,and innocent, clean looking doll.This doll is has to say the least looks very sexual , and like she should be standing on a corner  in the red light district.  Barbie has a target audience of children, 3- 10 yrs old, these are toys for little girls and boys. not adult toys. A child under the age of 10 has no business looking at a leather coat, fishnet stockings, under her panties,with knee high boots and gloves on. Society in general with the theater movies that are out, TV  programs and the Britney Spears and the Pussycat dolls needs to be more careful of our children, sexual innuendos are slamming them every time they turn around.  Children are very impressionable, I don't think it is setting a very good example of what morals are all about. The kinky and sexual lifestyle is for adults period. There is plenty of time to learn all about it all after the innocence of being a child is over


The barbie is based off a comic book character that is probably older than you are.  Black Canary has been around for YEARS AND YEARS!  Her costume, just like most other comic character costumes, is a representation of her personality.  It has nothing to do with SEX, although I would say that she is one of the hotter DC characters.  We collect comic book movies, comics, and comic book characters for my son and he is only 3 1/2.  I would buy this doll for him just to add it to the collection of other comic memoriabilia that we have for him.  I personally think that Black Canary is a great role model for girls, and for women.  Shes confidant, she does whats right not whats easy, she helps the innocent, shes a leader, shes completly in control of herself, and she allows no one to dictate how she should or shouldnt be.  She is self sufficent and independant.  She fights for what she believes in even if she is alone in that fight.  I admire those traits.  Shes a much better role model than what you see on TV now.  She isnt teaching children about sex or anything in the kink scene, so their innocence will remain intact.  You should do some research before spouting off about how this character is a representation of the kink and sexual lifestyles that we adults have.  You completly made yourself look like an idiot with this post.  Atleast I think so anyways.

FR:  Do any of you remember the controversy sparked when Mattel introduced a "hipper, more modern" Ken, wearing a purple pleather vest, and earring and what anyone in the know KNEW was a cock ring necklace?   He was "Earring Magic Ken" and he sold out because EVERY gay boy had to have one.   And you believe sexualizing Barbie is accidental?

I juried an "Art + Feminism" show in Milwaukee in the late 70s, and we had an entry of stereotyped Barbies.  "Trapped in a pink collar Job" Barbie and "Unable to express her sexuality" Barbie are two I remember.  They were actually weak and not well done, and they didn't win entry to the show.  But I thought at the time (and still do) that millions of little girls were crying out for "Crack whore Barbie" (and they were...ever see "Bratz"?) and my favorite "Blow Job Barbie".  How do YOU think she got that Corvette?

By the way, if Ken were anatomically correct based on the cock ring he wears....whoooo hoooo.  Move over John Holmes!

Barbie is the ultimate feminist. Ken only exists as an accesory in her world-like a handbag, or maybe a douchebag?

Fast Reply Not pointed at any one post

Barbie has come in many styles and fashions since her inception, each age has put their mark on her, and on the special edition Barbies as well. While she was originally designed for little girls, I doubt very many parents are going to pay for a Bob Mackie Special edition and hand it over to their 5 year old. The Black Canary edition is not necessarily for the kiddies either, but it is a choice each parent is going to have to make for themselves.

Go to any Mall and you will likely see outfits just as outrageous on teens and young adults, hanging in windows on mannequins and posters. One of the worst I think is this style called "Jailin", I don't particularly want to see someones tatty ratty boxers leaning over the meat at the grocery store. Turn on the TV and watch an episode of the Bratz or half the other cartoons out there on the cartoon network and Disney shows and you will see pretty much the same thing. It's everywhere not just on Barbie and kids are going to see it.

OR..turn off the TV, sit down and read to your kids and talk to them about appropriate clothing to wear outside. Teach them Morals, and Values and they will resist them temptation as they grow into responsible adults. But, and I enjoin those who say things are inappropriate for kids, please don't be hypocrites... your life choices have been hard enough, and accepting that knowledge about yourself may not have been easy, even to the point you have hidden it from friends and family. Don't let your kids feel that it is something to be ashamed of or they may end up hiding things from you as they grow into their own sexuality. Talk with them, age appropriate about everything they see, every one they meet and maybe they will grow up to make a world more accepting of the differences between us all.

MarieToo,
You made me look

There are some of these recalled Kens shown on EBAY!  (he definitely makes more of a statement than the Black Canary Doll that btw has a black label (this label specifically is marketed for the Adult collector)--there are currently only 4 barbies on the mattel BC website that indicates a black label.

I'm sad.

Why can't I look that good in fishnets????

On a serious note, I second PK's views about child-rearing. You are the parent. You, the one(s) who brought your child into the world, are responsible for how they are raised. Not teachers, not the government. Education about morals, values and ethics begins and belongs AT HOME!

Seriously curious, how in the hell does a doll represent morals or integrity?  These qualities should be taught to children by their parents, not by their toys. It's simple, if you do not think your children should be playing with this or any other toy, do not buy them the toy in question.


a toy or doll tends to be an effigy of SOMETHING and they DO represent things, no doubt about it...just like the little(and sometimes) big statues of Gods in Eypt and other places...they are archtypes that speak to the human condition and teach children( and adults) about said archtypal concepts and whatnot...

the funny thing about THIS Barbie is the people that have a problem are obviously reacting to something inside themselves and didn't do their homework...this Barbie represents Black Canary, who is an arcthype or mythical type character(as most comic book, sci-fi, and fantasy characters) that has been around for quite some time this is NOT Barbie, it is Black Canary in Barbie "style"...she represents sacrifice, heroism, defending the defenseless, speaking up for yourself(Black Canary has sonic voice powers), etc, etc she is a "moral" character with tons of integreity...all GOOD and NOBLE things for a child to aspire to and be exposed to...she wears that costume to be able to kick butt in the streets, be flexible(the fishnets) have some protection(the leather jacket and gloves) not for sex or anything sexually related what-so-ever(though i'm sure Green Arrow and fanboys don't mind her costume choice for more "perverted" reasons)...

ORIGINAL: GreedyTop

Theres also the point, IMO, that kids see barbie as a TOY... it is US, as adults, that see barbie's clothes as slutty/etc.


indeed the whole thing reminds me of when Dee Snyder "outed" Tipper Gore as a kinkster because of her M & S intepretation of the Twisted Sister song Under the Blade(which is actually about having surgery, not BDSM)..talk about an Unconvient Truth...
