Didn't Ruth Handler end up designing realistic breast prosthetics that were specifically designed for the left or right side rather than just having one breast for both sides
Before watching the 2023 movie I never knew that there was hate from girls/women for her, I always thought that she was an icon for "being who you want to be" and for "persevering in pursuing your dreams". I liked the idea that Barbie is supposed to reflect who you are and who you want to be, the original self-insert story character but she has her own personality as well
There was a "I hate pink" phase a lot of young girls went through, rather notable during the late 2000s and 2010s, and hate for Barbie and Disney Princesses was a big part of that. It paired with the rise of the "Not Like Other Girls" and hipster phase during the early 2010s. I think a big part of that was a lot of girls bucking against the mold of femininity a lot of kids kept being shoved in, and how feminine interests and girly things were just made fun of on a societal level, so the "I hate pink" thing came out of a response to try to protect themselves for being ridiculed for girly things, whether they ever actually liked girly or not. This is also where the Tomboy aesthetic can factor in.
@@justanawkwardnerdtrue. Also because the “girly girls” who loved pink were always depicted as dumb and shallow. If you weren’t aware of your beauty and didn’t care about your femininity like so called girly girls did you felt like you weren’t part of the stupid majority that “teen girls” were depicted as.
I’ve collected Barbie’s my whole childhood. Seeing that the film is out, made me think about how all my barbs were left in a treasure chest outside our front yard when we moved. All the fun memories that flushed back.
Exacly what I always saw in her. All the other toys were babies and house stuff, while she was a woman being the focus in the game. Not the baby, not the house, but the woman. It was genius, and changes the view of the woman BEING an acessory, to HAVING accessories, and a life, tastes and all. ❤ It might sound random, but if you lived with your grandma, you know how important this is.
There weren't just baby dolls. There were porcelain dolls and paper dolls which were both early forms of fashion dolls, and Barbie wasn't even the first fashion doll by our standards. There was Lili, whose design was stolen by Mattel for Barbie, Madame Alexander dolls, and at least two others. And Lili wasn't a call girl like Mattel wants you to believe. She was an office girl who was extremely materialistic, and kids played with Lili and read her comic about her day to day life. The only reason why Barbie is the most popular fashion doll today is because she was heavily marketed, especially on TV. Check out MJ Tanner's deep dive on fashion dolls as a whole.
Its why I never understood why Barbie in recent history has become such a controversial toy for young girls. She isn't meant to be a stereotypical women, she's meant to be whatever you dress her up as. And unlike disney princess dolls, Barbie actually does have a realistic body type, skinny women exist, it's just people think because she's never, until a couple years ago, had diversifying body types that she portrayed the message that all successful pretty women must have her figure. I don't think the original creator of Barbie ever intended that to be the case nor have I ever felt that way growing up with Barbie. Barbie is a toy meant to play to your imagination, she can and will be anything you want her to be and people tend to forget that.
fr bro. people also need to understand that barbie isn't supposed to be what all girls should look like...like don't compare yourself to a literal doll.
You know, in the old time blue was for girls and pink was for boys. Pink means they are strong, and the one that made barbie use pink for her so other know that girls/woman are strong too. Thats why barbie have alot of clothes for any jobs
Nicole Rudolph (a dress history youtuber) has a video on the subject of blue vs pink for boys or girls that includes research through actual historical sources.
I had to write a research essay about the history/impact of Barbie for my English class and I honestly learned a lot about the doll. One of the things I had to talk about was how she’s a bad influence and stuff but I honestly think that the pros of her being able to do so much while still being feminine and cute far outweighed the fact that her real life shoe size would be a size three (US) and that therefore would “make girls insecure”
i- i played with my barbies all my childhood and it never made me insecure maybe bcs i didn't rlly care? and chose not to compare myself with a piece of plastic

I can't express how much I appreciate that you actually answered the question at the end instead of making a loop by saying something like, "and that's why everyone wants to know..."
Actually, that's not entirely true. China and porcelain dolls were very fashionable and were just as often made to portray teens and adult women as babies. They had many clothes as well depending on how fancy. They were fashionable. I and my great aunt are avid collectors of antique fashion dolls and all of my favorites look like adult women. There also were many fancy dolls for young girls in classic literature, it wasn't a rare thing. Edit: most of the adult dolls weren't mothers. You had to buy the babies separate if they were china or porcelain. And deciding if the doll would have children was up to the buyer. So saying other toys were all to represent mothers is also false.
Well it's why BARBIE is a fashion icon not why are all dolls fashion icons, or the history of how dolls came to be.It’s just because she's the most remember and they make so much of them
She didn't say it was the only doll in existence to portray older women, she said they cosplayed "motherhood". Most of the dolls were moms where Barbie was a working woman. That's what was new.
The Barbie movie lies about everything involving Barbie's origin. The claim about her being the first fashion doll is a lie. They claim Roth modeled Barbie off her daughter despite Barbie's design and face being stolen from a German fashion doll Lillie. The real history of Barbie is ugly and sad.
Barbie was very much not the first non-baby/mother doll. There were plenty of other fashion dolls like Little Miss Revlon, Deluxe Reading's Candy, Betsy McCall, Madame Alexander's Cissy etc. And on that note, Madame Alexander had a lot of dolls based on Fairy Tale characters like Snow White or Hansel and Gretel, she also had dolls based on Little Women and even Nurse dolls or dolls in army uniforms that all came before Barbie. What really sets Barbie apart is marketing, Mattel is just better at marketing, case in point how they made everyone think Barbie was the first non-baby doll when she very much wasn't.
Miss Revlon, Cissy and Betsy McCall waned in popularity as they did not update their fashion looks from their debut. So when Barbie came out with a modern look, she took that market share for lady dolls pretty quick.
My sister and I just thrifted the 80’s aerobics barbie, we literally just washed her up and she’s drying off while I write this comment. I did an essay and presentation about Barbie and the American dream when I was a freshman in high school, and she really does symbolize the movements and transitions in girlhood/womanhood in America through the decades. She also has had so many jobs that doubtlessly inspired little girls to grow up and become whatever they want, my little sister has like 3 vet Barbie’s and she cosplays getting to help animals like she wants to do growing up.

The Business Barbie's "work skirt" could be turned around to become her "party skirt". The effer was annoying to turn back around to "work skirt" so mine was constantly ready to go out and have fun. I say it was annoying because once you had it on the "party" side getting it to sit right for "work" was impossible.
Not only is she a fashion icon, but also a automotive follower too, if u look at every vehicle Barbie has owned over the years, it always had a design following the current trends of the automotive industry, either by being the vehicle itself or taking elements to create a design and still be in trend
Baby dolls were not the only dolls available to girls during the 1950s, there were plenty of dolls that came in all ages whether they were made from porcelain or just materials found around the house
Barbie is one of my icons, I can dress Barbie up in whatever I want, my Barbie’s don’t need to be what anyone else says they can be what I want the, to be and if I want them to be gender non-conforming lesbians like myself (even though when I did play with Barbie’s I didn’t know that) they could be
One of my favorite things that the original creator of Barbie did was when they introduced Ken. At the times most people would expect him to be her husband, but nope. He’s Barbies boyfriend. A detail I love.
I will never forgive Barbie for suing Bratz and being the reason they stopped making them. I started with Barbie but never felt connected to it like I did with my bratz dolls.
My grandmother herself is kinda like a Barbie in my opinion. She was working, and such back in the 60's and had her own shop. Though that might still be pretty normal, but one thing I also love is, she was kind of a fashion icon herself in our city. She was pretty much the first woman to wear miniskirts in our city. And she absolutely slayed it!!! (Saw cool old pictures of her lol.) She was also the first woman in our city to be the lead of a democratic group. And best thing, she's the sweetest and coolest grandma of all time.

Ok but can we talk about how you slayed every single one of those outfits 😊
The creator of Barbie is an amazing person
You could literally be Barbie 😂 I love it ❤

Baby dolls were not the only dolls available to girls during the 1950s, there were plenty of dolls that came in all ages whether they were made from porcelain or just materials found around the house

Your SpongeBob tattoo ate and left no crumbs
Fun Fact: Barbie was inspired by Marilyn Monroe!
Really?!
@@JF59122Yep.
Actually she was inspired by a doll created in Germany for adults.
@@amritpalkaur3188Yeah but barbie kinda reminds me of Marilyn as well ngl.
@@amritpalkaur3188That’s false as well. She was an all ages fashion doll. Do not believe Mattel’s propaganda. History is written by the winners.
Absolutely adored the movie, you are stunning like Margot🤩💖✨️!
Eminem was real quiet after this beat dropped 😭💀

Omg I have a whole new respect for Barbies now jeez ❤😊❤
Barbie is one of my icons, I can dress Barbie up in whatever I want, my Barbie’s don’t need to be what anyone else says they can be what I want the, to be and if I want them to be gender non-conforming lesbians like myself (even though when I did play with Barbie’s I didn’t know that) they could be
“You give a girl an outfit and she dresses for a day, but bring out her inner style and she dresses for a lifetime

One of my favorite things that the original creator of Barbie did was when they introduced Ken. At the times most people would expect him to be her husband, but nope. He’s Barbies boyfriend. A detail I love.
Yes because she is a teenager? Historical revisionism at its finest.
I will never forgive Barbie for suing Bratz and being the reason they stopped making them. I started with Barbie but never felt connected to it like I did with my bratz dolls.
Omg im such a big fan of ur videos
“Creativitie, uniqueness, nerve and talent.” I love it❤
You’re very talented. You spoke very fast, not messing up once
Love the song choice, iconic!!
I love it 💓
Wish we could turn back time
Ew weirdo
lol just watched the movie in the cinema 1 hour ago 🎉🎉🎉
10/10 defo recommend
My grandmother herself is kinda like a Barbie in my opinion.
She was working, and such back in the 60's and had her own shop.
Though that might still be pretty normal, but one thing I also love is, she was kind of a fashion icon herself in our city.
She was pretty much the first woman to wear miniskirts in our city. And she absolutely slayed it!!! (Saw cool old pictures of her lol.)
She was also the first woman in our city to be the lead of a democratic group.
And best thing, she's the sweetest and coolest grandma of all time.
thats so cool!!
My grandma has some of those dolls 😊 she was born around the 80s
Amazing!!!
