China doll
« on: July 04, 2009, 08:11:04 am »
Here's an interesting article in today's Irish times :-

Quote
In the West, the Barbie doll symbolises particularly superficial form of consumerism, but in China, it has become associated feminist movement that is challenging long-established patriarchal norms, writes CLIFFORD COONAN in Shanghai

SHE’S BLONDE, SHE smiles all the time, and Shanghai’s newest and hippest shopping emporium is dedicated to her. She’s 11½ inches high. Her name is Barbie.

Interesting Article.  I had a Chinese (in his 60's i think) man here tell me that if I wanted a truly good wife.  "Go to the country".  "There women still know their place."  He was dead serious.  I just chuckled and told him too late.  He just shook his head laughed and said I would be sorry.  I guess that coincides with the article on women in the cities and in the country.

I cannot help you on this one.  I only remove the clothes from real life dolls.    Not even lifesize inflatable dolls, just real life dolls.
