It’s important to see yourself as beautiful. I think media is doing a MUCH better job at this than they used to when I was growing up. Barbie was just some blond haired blue eyed woman who didn’t even come close to an Afrocentric version of beauty. This imagry was sooooo pervasive with me (as a student of media) that it wasn’t until I was in my early 20s where I could look at ladies of my own race and actually see them as breathtaking. Sad… but true.

Those dolls are hot! They look like real women too which is always a plus, since most Barbies are two stick legs, a bad boob job and unrealistic facial features. Poor Barbie – she really needs to join the 21st century!

It would be creepy if you were a guy – like how Smithers has a Malibu Stacy collection on the Simpsons. I’d like to occasionally buy myself a cool Lego set.
