Barbie: a girl’s best friend
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but for me, it is always Barbie. She was there with me on my first day of school and when I lost my first tooth. She was there at my first birthday party, and she was there the first night I stayed away from home.
Recently, the grand opening of the Barbie Megastore in Shanghai prompted me to reminisce about Barbie and what she means to us.
Barbie has come under a lot of criticism in recent years. Many argue that she is an unrealistic role model for young girls. Her blonde hair, perfect skin and too-thin, hourglass figure send the wrong message about beauty, they claim. After all, she just turned fifty and there’s not a wrinkle on her face! Others believe that Barbie represents an independent, and career-focused woman. After all, she has been an astronaut, movie star, doctor and business woman and she still has time to have fun with her friends and travel the world.
But to millions of girls and women around the world, Barbie is just a good friend. She listens to our childish banter, she lets us choose her clothes and play with her hair and even when we draw on her face or our dogs chew off her arms, she always has a big, bright smile on her face, as if to say “It’ll all be okay.” Perhaps that is what we can all learn from Barbie — to explore the world, to make new friends and to always remain positive.
I often wonder where my Barbie is now but wherever she is, I am sure she’s still smiling.
