Is TK too sensitive to this, or would you be wary of buying one of these new barbies for your daughter, also?
Where DOES she go when she leaves the Malibu beachouse dressed like this? We wonder if this outfit comes with handcuffs..?

Would you buy this doll for your daughter?
Is this new Barbie "no big deal" - or is TK just being a prude?

HECK NO!
That is the most God aweful thing I've ever seen! Though I think my husband might like one.

NO WAY I'd buy this!!
This is awful. I think we all need to be concerned about this and refuse to buy this Barbie.

Lets Face It
In the eighty's you had Cher dressing like this in one of her videos. Even today there are singers who dress this way to sell their music. I'm not condoning it but let's face it, WE have let this come to be. Be honest, you have watched worse on T.V. alone and not seriously objected to that. If you do not like it then do not buy it, I will not.

Don't
As a general rule, don't buy a Barbie for your daughter that is wearing an outfit you would not allow her to leave the house in. Otherwise you just open up Pandora's Box.

Oh Well
It figures, now they use toys to demoralize our kids and give our daughters a reason to dress this way.

Crazy!!!
What happened to Barbie? She went from Sandra Dee to Daughter of Satan. This is not the barbie I want my little girl playing with.
07/21/2008 3:48PM
No WAY!
No way I would buy this for my little girl. She went from sweet wholesome Barbie to something off of a street corner.

Title
I want to know what they are calling her. If she is biker babe or something that could be positive, then I might get it. If it's like "Hooker Barbie," then NO!
07/22/2008 1:44PM
DON'T THINK SOO!!
I don't even buy my girls BRATZ dolls ...so I know I won't be buying this thing !!!
07/22/2008 2:55PM
Are you kidding me?
There is NO WAY I would buy this for my little girl! She looks like a hooker!

Don't judge a book by its cover ...
I was a bit appauled when I first saw the Barbie but I did my research and here's the product description...Introducing the Barbie Collector doll Black Canary, the Gotham City bombshell and crime-fighting superpower is depicted here by Barbie doll in signature black patent, gloves, boots and fishnet stockings. The DC Comics' heroine is world-renown for her skill in martial arts and leads the courageous Justice League team of superheroes.
Barbie and Mattel have always been good about creating image for young girls & 'Barbie' has had over 100 careers in 50yrs, seems this is not the 1st superhero Barbie ... she's also been WonderWoman & Batgirl ... go to barbiecollector.com to view more on Barbie's many personas ... now, I'm not saying I would buy this particular one for my 3yr old but Barbie as a whole is a staple of our society and so she should be respected!!!

That's true...
It is called the Black Canary Barbie. BUT, she still looks like a hooker...
07/23/2008 3:45PM
On the Other Hand.....
"Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover" says that Barbie should be repected simply because she is a staple of our society. However, if you want respect, shouldn't you act like it? Looking at this Barbie makes me wonder what kind of respect she's after??? Staple or not, she looks like a skank and that's the only kind of respect I can muster for this staple of our society.
07/23/2008 3:50PM
NO WAY!!!
I WOULD NEVER BUY THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER. KIDS LOK UP TO SO MANY THINGS AND THAT IS THE LAST THING I WANT ME DAUGHTER DOING IS RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A SKANKY BARBIE DOLL!!
07/24/2008 6:24PM
Not Good!!!
What are they thinking this is not something I would ever even want my daughter to see.

What About Batman and Robin?
I don't think their outfits look great if taken out of context. I applaud "Don't Judge a Book" for taking the time to look it up and to inform us.
