Barbie's New Look

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I read in the newspaper today that Mattel, Inc. is
giving Barbie a new "look".  She will soon be less
busty, have a thicker waist and slimmer hips. Changes
above the neck :-D will include a new nose, and softer,
straighter hair.  Some features of the new Barbie
are already on store shelves. The "Rapunzel Barbie"
has a refined nose and closed mouth--part of the
new design. Other features will be introduced during
1998. By the end of next year, six of the 24 versions
of the 11 1/2-inch doll  will have the new look.

Do you think we will ever see an Apostolic Barbie??
I remember a day, a few years back, when my
daughter (now almost 10) asked me to come 
play Barbies with her shortly after she had received
the Holy Ghost.  She proceeded to tell me
that all her Barbies were like her now. She had 
"pentecostalized" them by pulling out their earrings
and dressed them in modest clothing.  Each one of
them had "repented" first and was baptized in the
bathtub. In Jesus Name,  of course!!!  She even
tried to baptize our cat once, but the cat was
wise to her and made herself scarce.
