When i was a young girl, i was always designing and making new couture for my Barbies. My Barbies always won the fashion contests (in my mind anyway).
I never thought twice about a naked Barbie. Naked Barbies were part of the landscape, right?
Then my friend with 4 boys had a daughter who turned 5 and started playing with Barbies. Now aside from all the other issues Barbies create, she's worried about it making her boys uncomfortable. So i started a little informal poll.
And boys (at least the ones i asked) are (wow) uncomfortable with Barbie nakedness. Plus, i guess, now that you mention it to me(a mom of teenage boys), teenage boys don't really need more, you know... stimulation.
So i got an idea.
A little nail polish (okay, a lot of nail polish) could do wonders!

I've always harbored a fear right down in the middle of myself
that i'm really not creative.
That i am just a copycat.

Still, i am tickled with our results.

GREAT idea - and carried out so splendidly!
I love it! I'll have to keep this in mind for future barbies!
When I was young and playing with barbies, about 15 years ago, I was THE Barbie fashion stylist and designer. Never mind that my couture rarely involved sewing, but rather a lot of tying.
Alas, fashion design skills aside, I could never paint underclothing as fashionable as this.
