I never felt that Barbie pressured me to be thin and pretty as much as my own mother and bullies at school did. With Barbie, I could escape. I love Barbie. And I love that she's even more diverse nowadays.

Neither did I nor did Barbie make me feel that my blackness was inferior to her Eurocentric features. I had a bunch of white Barbies as well as black Barbies and other Barbies of different ethnic backgrounds growing up. Personally, I believe that some people are projecting their own insecurities onto Barbie.

Same, my cousin who was at that time 9 or 10yrs. Old told my aunt during dinner time she wanted to be Barbie for Halloween, my aunt told her absolutely not because of her weight. I was 8 yrs. Old at the time & I didn’t understand as I got older I realized that comment was absolutely horrible. I’m just glad she’s doing better now. ❤ Two quotes I like “Although a tongue has no bones, it has the ability to break a heart.” & My favorite quote “If you can’t say something nice don’t say nothing at all”. ✌🏻Bambi ❤️

Kenneth had or issues besides the kids making fun of him for having a doll named after him. It is said he was the deep in the closet (he was married in 1963 until his death) and was in appropriate with the casting couch , he was a producer. Kenneth died in 1994 of a brain tumor, but it is said the tumor is a complication of a disease that associated with a certain group of men at that time.

She was way ahead of her time. "I wasn't suited to being a stay at home mom". That's a super common sentiment now (one that I share), but back then that must have been practically illegal to feel or say. Even now a lot of women get flack for not wanting to be home makers or around their children 100% of the time.

Even though she had her troubles and wasn’t perfect I respect the hell out of Ruth Handler.

The constant need to prove herself and still desiring that even after you’ve achieved so much success is something I will always relate to. I’m so happy that the Barbie movie introduced me to her and thank you Joey for teaching me so much about this amazing woman!

I didn’t know about Ruth’s second career making breast prosthetics. My grandmother had a mastectomy in 1980, and I can appreciate the courage it took Ruth to stand in front of a group in her bra with one fake breast. Her appearances would have also raised awareness for breast cancer, which was not spoken about as much at the time.

I would love to share my Barbie story. Don’t know if anyone cares but it is an important part of my life. I’m 37 now but when I was 6 I was given a Crystal Hearts Barbie by my brother and his friend (which was so sweet. They were just young teenagers at the time!) for my birthday. I remember being so in love with that doll. My family and I traveled to Central America where a missionary family gave my sister and I a large box of Barbies and a Barbie house. We cherished those dolls. We named them, they each had personalities. We made up stories for them all including a quacky old lady, a weird homeless guy, 😂 the perfect couple, the teenager and her brother who was trying to raise her, a professional baseball player and the list goes on. I can remember their voices, their faces and their stories. We spent hours and hours creating their world. Often times, when things got tough, we would play with the sound of our parents arguing in the background. We would play when things in real life didn’t make sense. When a massive hurricane wiped out all electricity and water and we were stuck on a mountain for days, we played. Those dolls were a comfort and a life anchor during a really dark and often dangerous part of our life in the late 90’s. If it hadn’t been for those dolls, we might have gone a little crazy. 😂

A true ‘boss lady’ and trail blazer, paving the way for career women and breaking the glass ceiling. She employed a number of capable women in her company and allowed them the freedom to wear pants and pantsuits at a time when it was frowned upon and considered unfeminine. I have a signed copy of her biography - Dream Doll: The Ruth Handler Story published in 1994 which I highly recommend. It’s quite the remarkable achievement to think she helped found a multi-billion dollar corporation that is still going strong more than half a century later and to create a doll that is easily the most recognisable and outsold every other around the world.

There are a couple of factual errors in your video. One: the Miss Revlon doll DID have a bust--she came in a bra and girdle with stockings, and had an adult female figure, though not as busty as Barbie. There was also a Little Miss Revlon doll that was a 10 and a half inch version of the bigger doll, and who had a huge wardrobe of separately-sold fashions. I suspect that this was the inspiration for Barbie's large wardrobe. Two: Ruth Handler was not the only female toy executive in the industry. There were several others, of which the main one was Madame (Beatrice) Alexander, who ran a very successful company which is still around today. Other early female toy executives included Virginia Graves, founder of the Vogue doll company that made the popular 8-inch Ginny dolls, and Nancy Ann Abbott, founder of the Nancy Ann doll company.

I would rush to buy it. Also, as a woman myself I never thought that Barbie had any damaging influence on the way I looked at my body, it's absurd, right? What I did see through Barbie was my dreams of the future, Barbie could do everything I wanted to do and that was fun.

Genuinely, the only damaging thing barbie did to me was lead me to believe that every grown woman has a full bust. Because when mine never came, i never felt grown up for a good bit in my early teen years leading to my mid teens. My mom always tried to tell me "once youre pregnant...." but...waiting until pregnancy isnt something feasible at 12-14 😭 I wish there was smaller chested adult barbies when i was growing up, because i think it would have helped me accept not having a full bust being what made me a woman, a lot quicker. I always felt like i looked like a child or preteen because thats all the dolls that represented me for most of my early preteen into teen years (even at 26, there arent really adult woman dolls with A cups on the market that I've seen) Even other women ive met, that are small in frame and chest ive heard say things like "i know im built like a child, you can look at my ID im a full grown woman" I think its honestly a shame that even now, people cant look at smaller women and not infantilise them. I never had a great view of my body image, but the one thing that gave me the most body euphoria ever? Funny enough, sci-fi movie The Fifth Element. The perfect being is a small framed, small chested woman. Not a full curved, shaped, bodiced woman; the woman body type most people consider not a woman, but a little girl. (Please, please dont take this part as me saying that other body types arent beautiful, because i believe everyone is beautiful in their own right no matter who they are, no one singular thing dictates what is beautiful. Which is where the anger comes from, is the dictation of whats considered womanly or beautiful) Its genuinely so hurtful never being viewed as a woman because i wasn't gifted with a larger cup size. Even to this day, i constantly have people telling me that i look like a child, and its exhausting. I struggle to even date properly as to avoid people who specifically like me because i look young (it has been very reoccuring for years) or to avoid people judging my partner because they think im a child with an older man etc. Its honestly attributed to my agoraphobia quite a bit, because its genuinely embarrassing when you're carded and the person carding you brings over 3-7 people to come confirm you dont look your age. Its frustrating most of all--constantly affirming to others that I'm a woman, because theres been points where it feels more like im affirming it to myself, because i haven't figured out what makes me a woman since no one else sees it. It isnt even about the way i dress or carry myself; i dress in modest yet still elegant outfits (i tend to cover my skin as much as i can because i personally dont feel comfortable showing any majority of my skin around people who arent my partner due to personal morals and trauma, but also a bit of body dysmorphia) and carry myself with a lot of proper etiquette that was beat into my head as a child so i could present myself in the adult world without issue...well until the adult world decided that i will forever look like a child because i only developed an A cup. I myself, took probably until i was 22 to realize it wasn't ny chest that made me a woman, and even after that I struggled because i never fit any body standards to make me beautiful, only cute...like a child (see how it loops around in everything unfortunately.) Partners would like me because i looked so young (gag) but would treat me like i was too sometimes, and it was offensive. I was the same age and they looked down at me for not looking as 'adult' to them (treated my opinion as lesser, often tried to speak for me or over me, etc.) Also please note i said outfits. I did not specify any clothing because no clothing dictates your gender. I simply meant i dont wear young adult cuts of clothing (things that maybe someone in late high school or freshman in college may consider trendy) that might give someone the impression im younger. I dress to present myself but also to represent; a mixture of looking presentable in hospitable company and still showing who i am within my outfits. (I don't expect anyone to live within my confines of dressing like someone from the 1880s dont take it as me shaming clothes either please, as ive expressed i live by my own morals, that doesnt mean everyones are going to line up with mine, which is better because everyone deserves to be distinct.) i want to outwardly carry and present myself as the woman that I am and know i am, regardless of how others decide to view me; because there are plenty of lovely people who do see me as a woman, not a child. Which is the beautiful power of dressing yourself to present and represent :)

i think the karens complaining about the dolls looks had kids who were not of the norm & or felt ugly comparing themselves to the doll

Barbie was a beautiful doll who made me feel I could be beautiful too, when I grew up.

The only pain that Barbie ever inflicted on me was whenever my siblings and I would hit eachother with them when rough housing got too far lol. But in all seriousness no doll has ever made me question my appearance or make me feel bad about myself. I feel like people who don’t suffer from body dysmorphia or any sort of body image disorder don’t really understand that it’s not something that just a toy can cause.

Barbies 1960 $3 cost is the equivalent $31.30 in 2023 money. Kind of expensive for the time.

Was Cheers not popular in the UK? Rhea Perlman is an icon herself.

A fluke is one of the most common fish in the sea. So if you go fishing for a fluke, chances are you just might catch one.

Ahoyhoy there, Fellow KZbinrino! I think they did a good job with making the Ruth from the Barbie Movie sound just like the real Ruth Handler.
