Study: Barbie Vulvas on the rise

Modern science has confirmed what you've long suspected: Centerfolds, models and the like are aspiring to be barbies, down to the coochie.
After studying Playboy models from 1953 to 2007, "results suggest the perpetuation of a “Barbie Doll” ideal characterized by a low BMI, narrow hips, a prominent bust, and hairless, undefined genitalia resembling those of a prepubescent female.”
That's what a recent study on the subject said. Of course, Barbiefication started almost immediately after the doll first hit toy stores, but it's only accelerated, and now is considered ideal.
And you thought only children liked toys?
I'm gonna have to go against the grain on this one. #TeamRealShapes

Gaga for Barbie?

Just when you thought it was safe to take your little girl back into Toys R Us, they manage to combine the combine the cocaine that is Barbie and Lady Gaga into one substance: Lady BarBa?
These toys modeled after the hottest singer of the moment lend credence to the olf motif: Life imitates art. What's next, Sponge Barb (wait, I. Like. that.)?
Barbie's been kicking butt lately, but the Lady Gaga bit is over the top.
No word yet on if the dolls can bleed on command, VMAs style, or if an assessory Kanye comes with it, complete with Hendog in hand and "greatest of all time" speech (that would be something, wouldn't it?).
The dolls are part of a trend of musicians that toymakers are crafting; some rappers are even being sold with their own jail cells I hear (everybody say ooooh, in auto-tune).

Even Barbie wants you to be more than a vixen

With the Barbiefication (that's my word, don't even try it) of American femininity going on now. It's vewy, vewy interesting that even Mattel, the Dr. Frankenstein behind the Barbie doll are pushing a new campaign to have her take on new occupations as a way to transcend the dim-witted blonde arch type so prevalent in mainstream portrayals.
They give you Barbie, the rock star, but also, the kid doctor, and the race car driver, and they all got clothes on (go figure).
Wonder if this tranlate to the street (or to Twitter), or better yet, the music?

Obama Doll Scary As Mutha

I don't know, maybe it's my childhood coulrophbia (fear of clowns). Maybe it's just me, but this Obama doll is just too life-like. Anything that is fake but too realistic, just gives me the creeps. Plus, I keep thinking about the movie "Tales From the Hood," where they had this segment on "niglets" that kept running after this man.
I mean, if I walked outta my kitchen and saw something like this laying in the cut ... YEESH. Getting chills just thinking about it. Anyway, a Japanese company has made these dolls and evidently they are doing pretty well over there, so now they're gauging Americans' interest. I don't know, would you buy one for your son, daughter, niece, nephew?
