My dd has just worn me down with requests for a Barbie, we entered the dreaded aisle in toysrus this afternoon and I was horrified

I had a Cindy when I was little, she was a WASP in the true sense, as opposed to White Arse Slapping Prostitute Barbie who came home with us today.

Air stewardess /Pilot Barbie or what ever she was with her pink heels and wheelie case looked ready and willing, 'mile high Barbie' presumably??
Firefighter and police woman Barbie were already for a good night stripping...

I read the press but haven't seen the reality! Am I AIBU to say this is the only one, all her friends have loads it seems but she is so horrible!

Which Barbies live with you?

Ruth Handler invented Barbie in the 1950's for her daughter Barbara, so they definitely were for children from the start.

Ruth based Barbie on Bild Lilli, a German doll, who was definitely not aimed at children but at men... Lilli was based on the German cartoon of the same name, and the cartoons make frequent sexual references.
