Barbie X LBD: Back to Basics

I am not a big fan of Barbie

never own one in my life

always with the impression that

it has been overpriced

meant for collectors

 

but a couple of days ago

saw this collection

simplest ever

but it was so eye-catching

 

Barbie in tht LBD

little black dress

 

but to my surprise

there were quite some controversial about the collection

rather than just the oohh aahh

admiring these sexy ladies

 

Eg, the one at the far right

they called her Busty Barbie

way too sexy

and that led to

serious doubts about their occupation

are all of them OL (office ladies)

or among them, there are

gold-diggers, porn stars etc etc

 

so are these dolls specifically

for children or adult collectors

because apparently

they do not contain that

educational purpose

of what a toy should have

to be sexy, slim, hot??

 

but whatever it is

in my little opinion

yeah I don’t think these are meant

for kids

instead for kidult like us

 

but excuse me

count me out, because

I am not a Barbie fan

and avid fashion fans

because those LBD

really look terrific

and not forgetting

the different hairstyles of theirs too

bangs, waves, silky straight and even bobs

celebrate the colours…
