- Does anyone else think Barbie looks deformed? I never played with
- these dolls as a child (no interest) but my 4 year old *loves* them.
- (Well actually she loves the clothes.) When I got to looking at
- the doll, I noticed she seems not to have enough room in her torso
- for a normal complement of internal organs. Do some women actually
- grow up expecting to look like this? wow -- it boggles the mind. ;)
