While Jo and Helga took the broken English tour of St. Vitus Cathedral and the Royal Palace at Prague Castle, Tracey and I ambled down Golden Lane, buying up goodies to bring home and stumbled upon the Toy Museum currently boasting a Barbie exhibition. We squealed with delight and rushed in to buy tickets. What we beheld was a display to melt any child's, in our case, grown woman's heart...Barbies everywhere. The outfits changing with the zeigeist. Black barbies with white features. Ken dolls galore from '60s swimwear to Star Wars costumes.
We were wholly unprepared for this vision of open-bellied pregnant Barbie--smiling her signature plastic smile, sandwiched between Dr. Ken and presumbably their twins. YEESH. Do children really want this? Should they be allowed to play with such a disturbing toy? Is it even a TOY? YEESH.
