Barbie Doll Blonde
Barbie Doll
I had never realised that I was a poor girl before I was 12 years old.
My parents are the most ordinary people. Dad was a plumber of a small company and mum ran a tofu stall in the market near our community. In my childhood, we lived in a double-room house. Small as it was, mum decorated our house in warm and fragnant colors and in the house, you could always feel that you were at home and was greatly welcome.
I had no idea that I was from a poor family for my parents never made me that I was poor and different from the other girl whom I played with. At a time when I was in primary school, Barbie dolls were very popular among girls. Almost each of my good friends had one or two such dolls. I was surpised that there were so extraordinarily beautiful dolls and yearned to own a Barbie doll. When I came back home from school, I talked to my mum how beautiful and amazing Barbie dolls were. “You can’t imagine how these Baribe dolls are like. They are like real human girls, but more charming and prettier.” I tried to describe Barbie dolls to her. “Meimei, you are the prettest girl in the world,” mum said it and went on with her cooking. “But you know what, they have party dresses and bridal gowns on. My friend Xiaoyu had three Barbie dolls and they are dressed in different party dresses. If you see them, you must like such beautiful Barbie girls.” I said quickly and hoped mum can understand what I really meat. “Ok, darling, I’ve got it. You want a Barbie doll, don’t you?” “Yes, mum. I really, really want to have one,” I answered with a little shyness. “Could you tell mum why you want such a doll? And you know it’s very expensive,” mum raised her question and smiled at me. “Urn, I love Barbie dolls. They are so beautiful. Another reason is that,” I made a pause, “all my friends have Barbie dolls and I don’t want to be different from them.” Mum stopped her cooking and thought for a little while, “all right. Tomorrow we will buy one,” she said. And the next day, we went to the Barbie dolls’ and bought one. I chose a blond-haired Bardie who was in a pink bridal gown. On our way home, mum had a small talk with me. She told me, “Meimei, you’ve had the Barbie doll now. But remember, even if you have the same dolls with other girls, you are the different one, and you’re yourself.” I couldn’t understand clearly what mum said, but I nodded my head. She seemed to be quite satisfied. After quite a long time later, I heard from my grandma that mum spent her one-month salary to buy me this Barbie doll.
After graduating from the primary school, I went to the best junior high school in my city. And at that time, I started to realise gradually that I was a poor girl and I was diferent. As my mum told me, I was myself. I was different for I was the only graduate of my primary school who went to the best junior high school, I had a talent for drawing pictures and I decided to be myself but not anyone else. When I got my bachlor degree, I started a bridal gowns online store selling bridal gowns designed by myself. And I am very grateful to my mum. The Barbie doll she bought me inspired my talent of drawing and she inspired me to be myself.

Barbie $550 Barbie About the Book Assembled using the traditional anglaise technique and color-tipped by hand on art-quality paper, each page of this limited edition series bears the unique imprint of the artisan. The Assouline Ultimate Collection heralds a return to luxury, care, and mystique of a fine, hand-bound book. Big-eyed, blonde, and beautiful, Barbie took over the world in 1959 with little more than a white-and-black striped bathing suit and a pair of high heels. Today, Mattel sells three Barbies a second, and children in more than one hundred and fifty countries know her name. Now, on her fiftieth anniversary as cultural icon, Assouline presents the ultimate collector’s volume on the world’s most popular doll. Encapsulating her history, chronicling her fashion, and imagining her life as a woman of mystery, glamour, and fun, Barbie presents this totemic figure as never seen before–in vivid dioramas of Barbie at work and play and in portraits of vintage dolls and accessories. A muse for children and adults, designers and artists, writers and cultural critics, Barbie remains a powerfully evocative and enigmatic reflection of our dreams, our hopes, and ourselves. About the Author Yona Zeldis McDonough is the editor of The Barbie Chronicles. Her essays, articles and fiction have appeared in numerous national and literary publications. LIMITED EDITION Comes with a FREE high quality Assouline TOTE BAG! cloth over board with linen presentation box 128 Pages 14 x 17” 35.5 x 43 cm 69 Illustrations ISBN – 9782759403110 Tell your friends! var addthis_pub=”burkedecor”; |

For Student Series Poetry: Barbie Doll by Marge Piercy $8.99 Barbie Doll appears in Piercy’s 1973 collection, To Be of Use. By using the iconic image of the Barbie doll as a kind of straw “man,” Piercy implicitly criticizes the ways in which women are socialized into stereotypical feminine behavior. Written as a fairy-tale of sorts, “Barbie Doll” suggests that the enormous social pressures on women to conform to particular ways of looking and behaving are ultimately destructive. Her ironic tone barely conceals a simmering rage at prescribed gender roles that eat away at women’s self-confidence and wreak havoc on their self-image. Piercy suggests that corporate America, embodied by Barbie’s maker, Mattel Toys, participates in our patriarchal system by perpetuating gender stereotypes. The Barbie doll, one of the best-selling “toys” of all time, has become an icon of U.S. culture for the way it idealizes the female body. For more than 40 years parents have been buying the doll, along with Barbie’s companion, Ken, for their daughters, who attempt to emulate Barbie’s appearance and the values that that appearance embodies. Indeed, in some segments of society, the term “Barbie Doll” itself has become a term of derision, signifying an attractive, but vapid, blonde who will do what she is told. Piercy skewers this image, implying that it is inherently destructive. Piercy’s poem has been reprinted a number of times. Its accessibility and clearly defined-yet not simplistic-stance toward its subject make it one of her more popular pieces. |
