I don't usually post to this blog but I have to comment on this.
I used to love Barbie when I was younger, which makes me even more disturbed by how she is now. When I played with her she had a pleasant, more natural face. Now she's wearing heavy makeup and looks totally artificial. And I echo the question of what happened to her age?! Barbie was always at least in her twenties. She had a sister in high school, a sister in elementory school, a sister in pre-school and more recently a baby sister (btw, where are her parents??).
As someone above said, Barbie always used to be a career girl. The only thing she's never been is an astronaut (sp?). Yes, she had a boyfriend and loved fashion but still. What the heck is happening???

Someone should start a campaign or something.
