Mr. Murphy: you do realize how you are parroting the exact words of Gloria Steinem, don’t you? She, one of the shallowest of “thinkers” ever allowed to be published.

Earlier, you posted that

"Barbie brought beauty and glamor into little girls’ lives. As Shane said, a gun is only as good or as bad as the man who uses it.

Which just goes to prove, you don't bring a Barbie to a gunfight.

Which goes to prove that Barbie has lasted as long as Shane will in American popular culture. And for that, I tip my hat.

As the brilliant Camille Paglia has pointed out, anorexia/bulima is a mostly upper middle class phenomena. Certainly, it has nothing to do with lower class American woman as Honey Boo-boo has made so clear..

I did find some generic 18 inch doll clothes but they really looked sort of cheap to me. I might be wrong tho, I am not very good at picking out clothes.

There are some cheaply made ones, but kids don’t care. I assure you, quantity is the most important.

We also had a doll named Tammy, I think. The Ken doll always seemed pretty gay to me.
