Toying with maturity

By Jim Sollisch

http://www.jewishworldreview.com | I went shopping for a gift for my seven-year old niece. I was thinking about an art and craft kit or a book. You know, something wholesome.

The book section of the toy store is way in the back, which means that any kid who wants to find it has to pass through the seven circles of temptation in order to get there. I made it as far as the Barbie section.

It's been a long time since I looked at a Barbie. I have to admit I looked pretty hard at several Barbies. It was difficult to avoid those pouty lips, low-rise pants and exposed belly buttons. For a minute I considered putting a dollar bill in one of Lingerie Barbie's thigh-high stockings. Then I noticed a mother gently guiding her daughter away from me, and I quickly moved on to the Easy Bake Ovens.

Lingerie Barbie? Why not just call her Stripper Barbie? Who are these dolls for? Certainly not seven-year old girls.

These Barbies could be sold in adult sex shops. They could be used as marital aids for couples suffering from "problems." These are not dolls -- -they're plastic Victoria's Secret models. What kind of sickie wants his or her daughter or niece to play with lingerie? Lingerie is something you play with?

Well, you know, not when you're seven. It's bad enough that Abercrombie and Fitch is marketing thong underwear to 11-year old girls. But if you're actually considering buying Lingerie Barbie for your seven-year old, I think you have to ask yourself a question, "Am I out of my mind?"

One must watch out for dust mites and mold spores while digging through the archives. CAUTION!

Last I heard Barbie and Ken were splitting. If she's back on the singles scene she's gonna have to dress the part:)

[Rainmist]

Barbie is Barbie. Little girls don't think sexual about Barbie, they just like to dress her in her pretty clothes and play with her Dream House. My daughter developed a great imagination from playing Barbies, as well as a classy fashion sense. She still loves Barbie and always will.

She had to dump Ken, she just found out he was not anatomically correct!
