I didn’t have a Barbie myself (I was a Sindy girl – it’s a British thing. Barbie is American and Sindy had slightly less outrageous proportions and is Bristish). However, it seems there’s a wave of working out the anatomy of Barbie, possibly because a normal person would need to have 6 ribs removed to look like her, but ultimately because she’s meant to be beautiful…. and we all know beauty is beneath the skin right?

Lastly, I love this Day of the Dead Barbie, but can’t find who did it – anyone know?
I had both a Sindy and a Barbie… and did a bit of altering myself, though nothing this witty or sophisticated. I punished Sindy for being jealous of Barbie by cutting all her hair off. Psychotherapists would have a field day with that information :-S
