I'm writing in response to the essay, "A Grown-up Barbie" by Jane Hamill. Jane did a wonderful job on her essay. I find myself agreeing with her and the points she made about how clothes are really just clothes, it's what you do with them that makes a statement. Even though you might not look like barbie, it's the persona the doll puts off that makes you love her. She's supposed to be perfect in every way with her style, personality, body and intelligence. You know you can never be like her but you want to be with all your heart. For example, her clothes make barbie stand out to other dolls, she looks good at all times. These clothes weren't just sown together with no thought to them. They were carefully planned out to a T to make sure barbie is looking fabulous. Jane related to this part of barbie and is now an extremely successful designer. She learned from barbie that with the right attitude and knowledge, you can make anything to feel as good as the doll was. Jane turned her childhood toy into her own life and I believe that's really amazing.
