In the very early stages of working in sports, I was sick of being referred to as "the Barbie doll" because I had long, blond, fake hair. So I went and bought a boxed hair color, dyed my hair black, and put on glasses. And I looked ridiculous. I looked like a completely different person. I was trying to get away from the stereotype but what I realized in doing that is that what I say and how I conduct myself in what I do will speak for itself, and I don't need to apologize for being a woman in that space.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
You always have to take care of the sisters first, so my dad would buy Barbies and stuff and I wouldn't get anything. So I don't want any other kid to feel like that.
I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.
I was never tomboyish. I loved Barbies. It's just the way I grew up.
I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.
If there were mistakes, there were mistakes. But a man has to have a line of work, no?
Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself.
I'm a big Aqua fan. 'Barbie Girl' was a big deal growing up.
I'm the Barbie, keep alotta plastic. Little pink stars, put em on my jacket.
Pulling heads off Barbies, sticking them on the TV antenna and ruining the reception. But thats how witch babies are.
I was into Barbie and designer jeans.
. . . although I had to admit a certain affection for the Mattel booth advertising Urban Survival Barbie, now with her own Machete and blood testing unit.
I wasn't Barbie-obsessed. I think my mother might have been my Barbie.
I'm not barbie, and im alright with that.
Look at you! You look like Rangeman Barbie. You got a gun and everything. -Lula
Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. My mama, she told me don't worry about your size. She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night. Yeah I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll, so if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along.
When I was 12 years old, I read Nancy Drew mysteries and biographies of Madame Curie and Florence Nightingale and books about girls who love horses or go to nursing school. I belonged to the Girl Scouts and got A's in school and rarely disobeyed my parents. I still kept a collection of Barbie dolls in my room, and I almost never spoke to boys.
I'm just a Ragetty Anne in a Barbie Doll World
I became Vulnerability TED, like an action figure - like Ninja Barbie, but I'm Vulnerability TED.
