Its just a doll!!!

With Barbie celebrating her recent 50th birthday and March being women's history month much conteversay has come with it.

Mattel's newest Barbie doll "Totally Stylin Tattoos" Now girls can put tattoos on their barbie doll and themselves since the doll comes with an tattoo applicator and sheets of cute tattoos that girls can put on themselves.( all are of course washable with water)

So why the outrage from parents?
Its just a doll , a doll that has been around for 50 years!!!
Its freedom of expression as Mattel has stated it allows girls to be creative and be an individual , and lets face it temporary tattoos have been around forever and we have accepted them so why the fuss over a doll?

- At every theme park and carnival there are henna tattooo booths offering cool designs that all wash off in a couple of days and parents seem to be ok with that so they should be ok with this too.

Barbie allows girls to be creative in their own unique way and I applaud any item that allows the freedom to be creative and unique.

I think parents need to stop worrying about this and worry about the much more important matters that are out there.

- If you can recal a couple years ago Mattel came out with a doll from the Barbie line that was pregnant who was in fact not Barbie herself but her friend Midge. That caused quite an uproar so Mattel removed the dolls from stores.

In my opinion its a great addition to the Barbie line !!
