Wonder Woman Barbie Kicks Ass
Wonder Woman Barbie is a different breed altogether from almost every Barbie I've seen. Although she is priced to be a collector’s item at prices ranging from $45-55 and her figure is just as unrealistic as any other Barbie, I feel like she is someone that little girls could look up to- despite the fact that she is wearing not as many clothes as she probably should be, she is more than a fashion plate or an icon- she is a sign of female strength.

Where (and why) Did Russell Brand Put His Barbie?
If you haven’t heard the news already, you are not going to believe what Russell Brand did with his Barbie Doll.
In addition to being a co-star in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, Russell Brand is an English comedian known for reaching the outer limits of humor and is never, ever politically correct. In one of his more popular routines, he complimented the American public on their understanding of people with disabilities for electing a “retarded cowboy fellow” to the White House. The Brits seem to understand him, but he seems a little strange for most American tastes.

Mad Men Barbies
Mad Men Barbie dollsBarbie is going retro this time- Mattel is planning to release collector item Barbie dolls featuring no less than the cast of Mad Men. The bee-hive up-dos and and the retro dresses complete with scarves and the requisite jewelry look absolutely stunning, and as the figures of the women on the show are already hour-glass, keeping to their attractive body lines shouldn’t be much of a problem. There is a slight irony in the creation of Mad Men characters for a barbie doll collection. None of the characters on the show has what anyone would ever consider to be the best of reputations. In fact, the characters on Mad Men are known more for getting into somewhat sketchy business shenanigans and for countless sexual escapades than they are for upholding high moral standards.

The Hottest Barbies This Christmas
I’m what you’d call the opposite of a Barbie fan. As a kid, I wrote stories about G.I. Joes brutally blowing Barbies up. I cut off their hair, drew on them, threw them into trees and pretty much destroyed them in every way I could think of.

Are Barbie's Friends as Evil as She Is?
After thoroughly making it clear to everyone on Earth that just about any present was fair game for our child so long as it wasn’t a Barbie, my in-laws came with just that for our daughter’s fourth birthday.
Big surprise.
To give them the benefit of the doubt—which is probably a mistake, as I’m sure they did this just to spite me, as they do with plenty of other things—it wasn’t a Barbie Barbie. It was a little girl Barbie (one of Barbie’s so-called friends, I suppose) with a horse covered in enough glitter to make our house look like a confetti factory.

When Barbie Isn't a Barbie
Don’t you just hate it when people give your kid stuff you don’t want your kid to have? Well-meaning friends and relatives may offer your daughter some soda, candy, or other treat, not realizing they’d already had a fudge pop that day, which is your rule—and of course, when your rule is broken by another adult, it simply declines in value and becomes much easier to break.
