Carol Perkins: Barbie Previous Column: Coughing Your Head Off By Carol Perkins "Barbie." Some names need nothing further to identify them than their first name. Cher, Hillary, Beyonce', Barbra (her spelling), and Madonna, plus Oprah, Usher, Bono, etc. Barbie is one of those names. First sold in 1958, long after I stopped playing with my baby dolls, Ruth Handler created the first big girl doll that looked like an adult rather than a baby or a girl. I wish I had thought of her! A few of us decided we would see the movie. At first, I thought it was for young girls, but then I learned from those who had seen it that it was PG-13. Really? The market, I thought, would be for girls who still play with their Barbies. So, off we go with popcorn in hand and settle in for our personal experience. Immediately, I thought I had made a big mistake, especially having seen "Oppenheimer". As the movie progressed, my thought turned to "Silly." Then it went to "Stupid." Then it went to "Absurd." However, a little girl would have loved the Barbie house, car, and all the Barbies through the years saying, "Hi, Barbie," to every female. (Got on my nerves) I pictured Ken as a cool guy like Troy Donahue in the 60s, not like a numbskull. Plus, if three scenes had been altered to PG, more kids could/would have gone. Maybe they went anyway and didn't understand. (Isn't that what we assume.) The message of the movie was about women and their power. Then the end-well, you need to see it. I admit I was out of my element, but I loved Barbie's outfits! (Good marketing) I learned the history of Barbie. Others seem to LOVE the movie and I'm glad. After all, it has outsold every other movie lately. I would love for you to have the Barbie Experience. Let me know what you think.
