Totally different, and yet basically (from a very great distance) the same: the bleaching especially Kaukasians do of their hair ALSO to resemble Barbie. It makes you want to sue Mattell!

I say, forget buying Barbie all together and appeal to the inner nature of a child.

They can come in any colour of the rainbow - shaped only to be age appropriate with the aim of developing the soul.
