Why is Barbie always naked?
A comedy conversation by TracyBunny, Cuddly Bringer of **DOOM** 1,124 6

A friend of mine was talking about how her daughters' American Girl dolls are always beautifully dressed, and their other dolls manage to stay clothed as well, but their Barbies are always naked. When my Dad sent me a box of my old dolls to clear out the last of my childhood ephemera from his house a few years ago, it was the same with them - the baby dolls, porcelain dolls, etc. were lovingly dressed, but every single Barbie was stripped of clothes, shoes, jewellery and, in some cases, hair.

I was curious about this coincidence so I started asking around, and I found only two parents who said their kids keep their Barbies fully attired, and I'm inclined to disbelieve them; my theory is that Barbie is every little girl's own personal, miniature runway model, perennially naked backstage waiting for her next outfit to be pulled hastily over her head.

What bolsters this argument, you ask? The Bride of Frankenstein hairstyles (and occasional outright scalping) are the kinds of extremes to which every fashion designer is willing to subject his living mannequins in an effort to showcase his edginess on the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York. Every little girl, dreaming of becoming a fashion designer someday, the next Coco Chanel or Elsa Schiaparelli, perhaps, is living vicariously through the tortured manipulations of her beloved dolls.

Or maybe Barbie's just a slut.

Because:

1: Her replacement clothes are expensive
2: The clothes that come with the doll don't repel cum stains

Barbie was the only doll I had as a child that had boobs. I undressed her to see if she had genitals, too.

Ken also fell victim. For being such a hunk, Ken was a real disappointment.

I think Barbie always being naked is directly related to the Barbie corvette, the Dream house, and Ken always hanging around. Then again maybe she's selling Crack.

One of the things that really made me think about this so much is that, when I got the box of dolls from my Dad in the late 90's, I had just received a Master Billy doll as a gift. The complaint from one of my friends was that there were no tranny dolls available anywhere (the "Drag Queen Ken" hadn't come out yet, and didn't fit the bill anyway), so I used customized one of my dolls with still-decent hair for him using polymer clay.

I had never thought of just making Barbies anatomically correct. I'd never screw around with a major corporation, anyway - creating an individual work of art using a company's product as the base is one thing, but mass-production will cost you every cent you ever thought of making, and when the press picks up on it, you're suddenly known as that pervert who puts penises on children's toys!

Filly, I didn't steal Al's t-shirt designs. I asked permission to use the artwork first. His beef was he wasn't given credit for the art, and that I had it in a section with the tagline, "My latest ideas..."

Which I fixed.

No one should ever take anything anyone else says on the internet seriously.

Unless they deserve it.

In which case it's very serious, and should never be forgiven.

Unless that seems mean, according to popular consensus.

And then they were just joking.
