Barbie Indian Doll (styles may vary)

Product Information

But Barbie stays one step ahead of that thought, because it’s all leading up to an expert commentary on how little girls will always realize, sooner or later, that the real world is run by men, and that its Kens have more power than its Barbies. And once Gosling’s Ken makes it to Reality, he realizes this too, and he goes full men’s rights activist, transitioning from Barbie’s placeholder boyfriend into one of the most fascinating antagonists in modern pop cinema.

Stereotypical Barbie has no reason to leave this beautiful feminine realm. She’s forced to trek into the harsh world of Reality only because somewhere, someone is playing with her while experiencing such intense existential angst that their emotions are reaching Barbieland and drilling into Barbie’s psyche. Her real-world owner is inadvertently causing her to think about death, get actual cellulite on her thighs, and even develop articulated ankles that experience all-too-real pain when she stuffs her feet into stiletto heels.Barbie is an idea,” said Seema Chawla, the head of marketing of Mattel in India, where the new line is slated to arrive in April. “Her popularity was proof of the fact that she allowed girls to imagine what they could be. She was a fashionista, a family woman, a princess and the president. They wanted to be like her.” Someone thought that Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character ‘Pooh’ from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ and Rani’s character ‘Tina Malhotra’ in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ can also be added to the list of desi Barbies. Mattel, the makers of the doll, announced the new line with a story in Timeheadlined “Now can we stop talking about my body?” I did not expect Barbie to be a movie about Ken — and more importantly, a movie Ryan Gosling steals with such glorious aplomb that I can’t even be that mad at him for it.

At that time, she was inarguably American. “Indian Barbie had the exact same physique as the standard blonde Barbie with the same height and circumferential measurements,” Nemani explained. “The doll’s pigmentation was deepened only by a slight degree, and her eyes were made hazel rather than blue. Yet Indian Barbie shared the same pink lips, coy smile, shining eyes, and fictitious physique as the American Barbie.” After such an eventful life, however, Barbie is having to change. In January, she shed her impossibly slender figure that has been derided for three different body types – tall, petite and curvy – with seven skin tones, 22 eye colours and 24 hairstyles, throwing the world into a debate of whether it’s “too little, too late”.But Chawla seems to disagree. “Which child looks at a Barbie and sees it as vulgar or sexy? Kids don’t think about that. They think of the possibilities of being a beautiful and confident grown-up.” Since people were so desperate to see desi celebs as Barbies, online fashion police Diet Sabya curated a list of female Indian celebs as Barbies and gave a funny twist to their characters.
