UhOh! Barbie has competition.

Very cool now Mattel can make Islamic girls ashamed of how the look in comparasion with a firgure that does not exist.

Well, Joanne. After reading about Kevyn Aucoin, I can believe that any figure can exist. I did, however, appreciate the fact that young girls can be appreciated for who they are, not what they seem to be on the outside.

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Oooh oh
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Depend on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes
It really just depednds on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learn to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
The India Arie

When I look in the mirror the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where its supposed to be
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes
I'm lovin what I see

Chorus

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
But I've drawn a conclusion, It's all an illusion
Confusion's the name of the game
A misconception, A mass deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended, this is all my opinion
Ain't nothin that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life-learned lesson
I was sent hear to share wit y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf Go on and love yourself
Cause everything's gonna be alright




Chorus


Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive cars and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Christalle and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silly comb I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine


India Arie

Another uhoh! Joanne, you just hit the juke box button:

Artist: Buddy Knox



Party Doll
Buddy Knox


Well all I want is a party doll,
To come along with me when I'm feelin' wild,
To be everlovin', true and fair,
To run her fingers through my hair.

(chorus)
Come along and be my party doll,
Come along and be my party doll,
Come along and be my party doll,
I wanna make love to you, to you,
I wanna make love to you.

Well I saw a gal walkin' down the street,
The kind of a gal I'd love to meet,
She had blonde hair and eyes of blue,
Baby I wanna have a party with you.

(chorus)

Every man has got to have a party doll,
To be with him when he's feelin' wild,
To be everlovin', true and fair
To run her fingers through his hair,
To run her fingers through his hair.

(chorus)

What's the difference between a dog and a fox? A couple of drinks.

Feel free to change the "party of the first part" to Barbie..

Nice songs!

Reminded me of something:

:wink: You know when I first heard the India Arie song all I could think of was living my freakles, I have always had them - goes with red hair, but I did not alway appreciate them. Now I love them because they are just where the ought to be.

I'm all in favor of choices. Go Razanne! Go!

Question: Yes, some teen-aged girls are anorexic. Still, why if Barbie is so powerful are so many 66% of girls and women overweight. Thirty percent of the American population is badly overweight--obese.

Well, this story about the Muslim Barbie has been around quite some time (and actually the doll is sold here in Germany at least since 14 months - although this story appearde here today as well as a couple of month ago, in some magazines).

From February 17, 2001: Barbie Converts to Islam

Oh, Lord, Soz. I can't tell you how I loved my BABY dolls. That sweet Sozlet. You must be one fantastic mom. Perhaps the reason you weren't allowed Barbies, is because it cost more to dress them than it did you.
Polly Pocket lost her locket..Kitty Fisher found it...heh heh.

Right, Noddy. I think of Karen Carpenter whose resultant death came because of some critic making a remark about Ken and his pudgy sister. It doesn't always have to be dolls.

Joanne, When we were kids, we use to giggle at the expression:
She's got freckles on her, BUT she is pretty...

Hey, Walter, Letty's late as usual. Much better than being the late Letty, however.

Please tell me that it ain't so
