Barbie Dolls
Barbie dolls are everywhere these days. They are in department stores, small shops, etc and there are even collections of barbie dolls that are priced expensively. Barbie dolls these days have evolved so much that they represent the 'ideal' woman figure in society. They have perfect, slim body waists with considerably big breasts, blonde and shiny hair, and long arms and legs. So how could any child resist a barbie doll? Although barbie dolls are mostly targeted for children, I find myself wanting for a barbie dolls (sometimes), even though I have past that phase. This demonstrates that barbie dolls are now not only targeting young girls but also females that have past adolescence. I think that barbie dolls are becoming a dominant part of our lives as they have become the representative symbolic figure that represents the females. To me personally, this is kind of scary because the image of the dolls are too strong in our lives and they define the way we think. Hence, when we look at barbie dolls, we automatically think that the dolls are always the ideal way to look at females and males.
