Almost Stereotypical Barbie

from Almost 40 Hosted by Raj Pander

Mattel and The Design Museum are celebrating 65 years of Barbie this year. So (insert Carrie voice here) I couldn't help but wonder... what would be different for us if we grew up without Stereotypical Barbie beauty standards? And is the doll Ruth Handler created with her daughter in mind really responsible for shero worshipping blonde hair, blue eyes, and being super slim? There are rants about representation, chats about colourism, why everyone wanted to be Baby Spice in the 90s, why it's so damn hard to find a South Asian Barbie and MORE Got shit to say?
