There are also many parodies of the song, including a parody called "Ugly Girl", with an unverified author (often wrongly credited to "Weird Al" Yankovic, Adam Henderson, or Jack Off Jill) [citation needed]. German duo Lynne & Tessa made a lip-synched Internet video of the song in 2006, and on British Indian sketch comedy show Goodness Gracious Me, where a version titled "Punjabi Girl" was featured in the radio series and later on television, performed by Asifa Lahore.[141] In 2012, the song was parodied in an Australian lamb advertising campaign, relying on the Australian use of the term "barbie" to refer to the outdoor barbecue popularly held in Australia. The advertisement starred Melissa Tkautz and Sam Kekovich.[142] In 2014, the song was used in the South Park episode "Cock Magic". Ava Max recorded a version with new lyrics, titled "Not Your Barbie Girl", in 2018.[143]

Our goal was to listen to 200 girls, ages 5 to 11 years old, representing every region of the United States. Girls* were invited to participate in focus groups with their peers from across the country! Girls Leadership understands and values the diverse lived experiences, expressions of identity, personality, and communication styles of girls. We encouraged all girls to participate, who are willing to take one hour to share their experiences and opinions with our GAB girls about what it means to be a girl today. Each girl that participated in the focus group will receive a Barbie doll as a thank you for their time.

KELLY: Well, and how great - you mentioned you have a 9-year-old daughter, Amy, who you're going to take with you to see this. How great to have a new generation of girls and hopefully their brothers and guy friends, too, walking around with this song stuck in their head the way I did (laughter) as a kid back in the 1980s.

On the 9th of March 1959 barbie made her debut into the world at the American International Toy Fair in New York. Since that time she has entered the homes of countless young children, undergone a number of makeovers, amassed a wardrobe to be the envy of every woman and scored some awesome wheels.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - In one of the first experiments to explore the influence of fashion dolls, an Oregon State University researcher has found that girls who play with Barbie dolls see fewer career options for themselves than for boys.

"Playing with Barbie has an effect on girls' ideas about their place in the world," said Aurora M. Sherman, an associate professor in the School of Psychological Science at OSU. "It creates a limit on the sense of what's possible for their future. While it's not a massive effect, it is a measurable and statistically significant effect."

Barbie, introduced in 1959, was the first "fashion doll," with an emphasis on her clothes and appearance. Past research has found that the way fashion dolls such as Barbie are physically formed and dressed communicates messages of sexualization and objectification to girls.

After a few minutes of play, the girls were asked if they could do any of 10 occupations when they grew up. They were also asked if boys could do those jobs. Half of the careers were traditionally male-dominated and half were female-dominated.

Girls who played with Barbie thought they could do fewer jobs than boys could do. But girls who played with Mrs. Potato Head reported nearly the same number of possible careers for themselves and for boys.

More research is needed to better understand fashion dolls' effect on girls, Sherman said. It is possible that some girls are more vulnerable to adverse messages from fashion dolls such as Barbie, she pointed out. She is working on two other studies now, including one about girls' perceptions of weight and body image based on doll size and shape.

Barbie has come a long way from the pink convertible and Dreamhouse she favored when I was a child. According to a Mattel press release, Barbie will soon be pursuing careers where women are underrepresented such as astrophysicist, wildlife conservationist, polar marine biologist, wildlife photojournalist and entomologist. But will the new Barbie line really inspire girls to broaden their career aspirations? At least one study suggests it may not.

The new Barbie line will be the result of a collaboration between National Geographic and Mattel. "Barbie allows girls to try on new roles through storytelling by showing them they can be anything and, through our partnership with National Geographic, girls can now imagine themselves as an astrophysicist, polar marine biologist and more," said Lisa McKnight, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Barbie. "Barbie and National Geographic represent a powerhouse combination and our joint creative efforts allow kids to explore the world and different career fields right in their own homes."

After playing with the toys, the children were asked how many of ten different occupations they themselves could do in the future and how many of those occupations a boy could do. Girls who played with the Barbie dolls felt they had significantly fewer future careers options than boys did. (Playing with Doctor Barbie was no different than playing with Fashion Barbie when it came to career aspirations). But the girls who played with Potato Head felt that they had the same future career options as boys did.

The researchers suggest that Barbie is a sexualized toy, even when she's wearing physician's clothing. It doesn't matter if it's Doctor Barbie or Fashion Barbie, girls focus on Barbie's appearance, unattainable figure, and her clothes. Playing with this sexualized doll, they suggest, reinforces cultural ideals about the place of women in society. It sends a message to the girls about how women should look and act. They suggest that Barbie, even Doctor Barbie, emphasizes to children that women should focus on their appearance and not other dimensions like their competence or self-confidence.

Exposure to Barbie was shown to have a negative impact on the body image of young girls. In one study, young girls were less happy with their own bodies and desired to be thinner after playing with Barbie. Although Curvy Barbie was introduced in 2016 to create a Barbie who's dimensions were more realistic, it is estimated that even this Barbie would be a size 4. In other words, she's not that curvy at all.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- To inspire girls to become leaders, Barbie is introducing new President and Vice President Barbie dolls, because when a girl plays with Barbie she imagines everything she can become. The dolls represent Barbie's first all-female ticket and are part of the brand's careers line, which aims to expose girls to inspiring careers and empowered roles.

Barbie teamed up with She Should Run, an non-partisan organization dedicated to expanding the talent pool of future elected female leaders, to help motivate more women and girls to explore leadership opportunities. The pair are working together to highlight female leaders, offer products that enable leadership storytelling and get parents talking to their girls about being a leader. With just 39 percent of girls saying that they want to be a leader,* President and Vice President Barbie will serve as an inspiration for girls to pursue their dreams and imagine what they can become.

"At She Should Run, we believe that women of all backgrounds should have an equal shot at elected leadership positions and that our country will benefit from having a government with varied perspectives and experiences," says Erin Loos Cutraro, co-founder and CEO of She Should Run. "We are excited about partnering with the Barbie brand given its reach and influence to encourage girls everywhere to unlock their leadership potential."

"The President and Vice President dolls continue our efforts to expose girls to inspiring careers that are underrepresented by women," said Lisa McKnight, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Barbie. "We see this doll set as a timely and topical platform to further the conversation around female leadership. We are proud to partner with She Should Run to help elevate its message and show girls that they can be and do anything."

About She Should Run She Should Run is a non-partisan 501(c)3 organization committed to inspiring more women and girls to get into the race for elected leadership. Currently, women hold only 84 out of 435 seats in the House of Representatives, and only 20 out of 100 Senators are women. In our nation's more than 200-year-old history, only four females have been appointed as Supreme Court justices. At the presidential level, only 14 women have run for the highest and most coveted elected position in the land, and none of them have successfully landed the job (yet). Since 2011, She Should Run has worked to dramatically increase women's representation in elected office and eliminate barriers women uniquely face in public service.

Barbie was the brainchild of Ruth Handler, co-founder (with her husband Elliot) of the toy company Mattel, Inc. Inspired by watching their daughter play with make-believe paper dolls of adult women, Handler realized there was an unfilled niche in the market for a toy that allowed little girls to imagine the future.

Researchers have established that girls as young as 3 show a bias in favor of thin bodies. For example, one earlier study found that 3-to-5-year-old girls shown line drawings of children ranging from thin to fat were more likely to describe the fatter drawing as a girl who was mean, ugly, sloppy, and loud. And they were more likely to identify the thin drawing as a girl who was nice, cute, smart, and had a lot of friends. However, Barbie dolls are significantly less abstract than line drawings, and unlike simple drawings, the dolls are aspirational for many girls. 0852c4b9a8
