The new Barbie look............Are ya in to it?

Well I think for that certain commercial they are not suppose to have wrinkles because they are trying to sell that product. I am not into that barbie doll look at all. I don't like how they pertray this to the young girls in the way that it makes them feel that is how they have to look and it is not. I think it is crazy how the young girls look, they are 14 and 15 and look like they are in there mid 20's as where here I am only 27 and look closer to being in my fourties LOL...

Women are not dolls, and none of us are Barbie. I grew up with Barbie dolls, I still have a few, but I would never want to be a Barbie, I could never work that hard to be that beautiful 24/7. Then again, imagine if all women looked like Barbie. What kind of world would that be like? Women would be objects, and who wants that? Not all women can look like Barbie.

Oh I would totally love to have NO wrinkles at all. I am starting to get them on my forehead and I will probably eventually figure out something to do about it as long as it is not invasive. I have no crow's feet either and I really don't want any. I try to take care of myself, work out, drink enough water, and use lotion and sunscreen. I don't personally want to go the route of botox or plastic surgery though, so I would prefer to find natural non invasive methods that actually WORK. I do not really feel like I'm getting old, and I won't LOOK like it either even as time passes. I think people can look young as long as they wish and it isn't an issue.

Just dropping in to say Hi. I'm WAY behind on my friends posts. Sorry for the generic comment. Happy Holidays!!!

If you think about it..we are programmed from childhood to feel that way about the "barbie doll" look. I have always been aggravated with the standards that magazines and television have put on beauty. I have never thought it was healthy. One of my girls has auburn hair and the other dark. I have always bought them dolls that have the same color hair as they do. Sometimes with the same features as they have. In a way these dolls are role models. I think that by giving them all blond hair blue eyed dolls..they grow to think that that is beauty versus the beauty that they have. I am weird I guess but I think that it really causes women to have very low self esteems because they can't weigh 90 pounds and be wrinkle free forever because that's what they have been told is beautiful.

it is all part of marketing strategy.they remove character lines to attract potential clients.it is their way of showing how "effective" their products are.I am a fan of beauty products.I don't really believe in commercials.the biggest endorser is me,and I believe in my skin's reactions in a product.if it the product is ineffective to me,no matter who will endorse it,I will not buy it.

No laugh lines on a woman, then she must be miserable to be around. No crows feet, then she's to green to know anything. No dimples, then she's never smiled and been told about how cute they are. I don't want a Barbie Doll, I don't want a Pamela Anderson doll, a real woman knows how to mix it up and still look good. I don't live my life from a magazine, neither should a woman.
