Multicultural Barbies: A Changing World
Barbie Grows More Diverse
What's the function of Barbie -- besides old-fashioned play? Does Barbie allow us to see ourselves, and what we can aspire to be, or what we could never be (and should never want)?

Recently, I've come across photos of women from around the world, beaming out at the camera with Barbie-type dolls (not necessarily true Mattel Barbies) in hand. What does that doll represent to them? I've also come across some Barbies...

Let's examine her costume and learn about Ancient Egypt through her retro fashion accessories! But first, let me tell you a little about the wild and wacky world of Egyptomania. Some art historians are appalled by it. I enjoy it. It's yet more proof that Egypt is the most successful civilization ever: it lasted over 3000 years, and even two millennia after the Romans conquered it...

My Favorite Toy ~ Barbie
Why Barbie?
When my first Rocket Moms Challenge was to write about my favorite toy, my ideas were quite varied. I considered my cell phone, my computer, my sewing machine and even my husband. Any of these would qualify for my current favorite toy, but I kept coming back to Barbie.
