"Barbie's not supposed to be aspirational"

Barbie went to the moon before anyone else.

The moon landing was 1969.

Barbie went to the moon in 1965.

A decade before women could own credit cards in the US.

She has had over 200 careers from fashion designer to software engineer.

Barbie was the first doll marketed to children that wasn't a baby doll.

Her first dream houses didn't have kitchens to show there was other things girls could be interested in.

Barbie was always meant to be aspirational.

To show little girls that they could be anything they wanted to be.

And I for one will not stand for this slander of Barbara Millicent Roberts.

[theivorybilledwoodpecker]

It is possible to realize that Barbie presents unrealistic and unhealthy body standards while recognizing that she was made to show girls they could be anything.

Like, Mattel is definitely doing better at trying to represent different body types, but I don't think anyone can say their dolls aren't unrealistically beautiful. That's a problem with our culture in general, not just Barbie.

But she was made so girls could play at being something other than mothers. She has hundreds of careers, many of which were incredibly rare for their time.

If you watch the Challenger documentary on Netflix, there's a scene where a reporter is interviewing Judy Resnik. She was an engineer as well as an astronaut. The interviewer was so fucking condescending.

He asked if men told her "You're too cute to be an astronaut."

He asked if there were discussions about what would happen when men and women went into space together and hypothesized that relationships might develop.

This interview was in 1981. This wasn't seen as a wildly inappropriate way to talk to someone with a PhD who had more scientific experience that him.

Barbie was an astronaut in 1965.

The idea of a woman being an astronaut was laughable to most people, but that was a career Mattel chose to show girls what they could become.

The Roberts Siblings

Over the years the family has undergone some changes so just to recap quickly!

First and foremost we have Barbie. As we all know, Barbie debuted in 1959. Barbie was introduced as a "teen fashion model" but in subsequent years has run for President so we have to assume she is at least 35.

Skipper is Barbie's oldest younger sister. Skipper was released in 1963 - 1964 as an elementary school student, though over subsequent releases she aged into a teenager. (see also my post about the Growing Up Skipper.)

Next up was the Bendable! Poseable! Terrifying! Tutti. This sinister little sister debuted in 1965 but was discontinued in 1971.

Then comes Stacie. Stacie was comparable in age to Skipper was at debut, though she didn't debut until 1992.

Kelly, who later changed her name to Chelsea, was next along. She was introduced officially in 1995, though had one random appearance in 1991. She changed her name in 2010. Depending on release she was anything from a toddler to about six or seven years old.

Krissy was the short-lived baby of the family - she was only in production for four years, from 1999 to 2003.

But here's the thing about the Roberts family.

What is the story with Todd?

Todd was Tutti's twin brother on release.

However after Tutti was discontinued for the crime of looking like the most haunted Barbie I've ever seen, Todd hung around.

But now he was paired with Kelly?

This is the mysterious Kelly debut in 1991, before she was officially released as a younger doll a few years later.

But what's this?

Todd and Stacie share a birthday now?

I demand answers, Mattel.

Aravis meets Sindy

For the @look-back-month-challenge ! I'm mostly a doll collector, so that's what I'll be sharing here.

Day 1: Introduce your newest toy to the one you've had longest.

I've owned Aravis, the girl on the left, since I was about nine, making her over 30 years old. She's a clone of Mattel's 4-inch Dazzle dolls, down to the tiny silver shoes. I preferred tiny dolls as a child, so when I finally got a Barbie she seemed impossibly tall!

On the right is my newest purchase, a Hong Kong Mini Sindy from c. 1965. I bought her in a lot of misc dolls on eBay for a pretty low price, not sure anyone else spotted her! I already had the clothes and boots because I have a few Sindies already. This girl is my first Mini, but she's not the oldest - that's for tomorrow's post!
