Happy New Year Dudes and Dudettes!

Documentaries...been watching some on toys

Barbie was copied from a European hooker doll that men gave to a woman to let her know his intentions. The only real difference was the euro doll had nipples. Barbie's figure was extreme so she would look fashionable in clothes that were thicker because they couldn't scale down the thickness of cloth. i.e., longer neck, thinner waist, big boobies, bigger head, etc.

Also when they did the Ken doll, they started with 3 prototypes. The difference was the crotch. One was just like the Barbie, one had accurately modeled genitalia, and the one they picked just had a lump so pants and swim trunks looked correct on him. Surprised me that they even considered giving little girls a male doll with accurate genitalia. Kinda funny that the reason the decision was made (by men company directors) to NOT use the Ken with genitalia was that Ken was too well endowed. LOL.
