Because nothing represents girls’ rights better than this:
One of the world’s most famous children’s toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover – wearing a burkha.
Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby’s for Save The Children.
More than 500 Barbies went on show yesterday at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy.
Dan wants to know if Barbie also has a removable head.
No Sheeples Here comments,
So, little girls feel that repression and subjugation represents them? Let’s hope the genitals are mutilated in an anatomically and culturally correct depiction of Muslim womanhood.
Phyllis wonders about Ken,
Will clean-cut Ken now come (pun intended, ‘tis mine) with four burqa’ed Barbie doll wives?
Jammie answers Phyllis’s question:
But as a surprise for dad each Burka Barbie is suitably attired underneath by Frederick’s of Hollywood.
OMG… I’m laughing till my sides hurt. Burka Barbie indeed!
I think maybye it went to far with burka. I would like to see a Barbie with a more modern scarf dress.
