Ranking the new Barbies

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

So they finally came out with some curvy and darker skinned Barbies instead of that bag of bones bleached blond Barbie they’d been rolling out for decades.
Here’s my definitive rankings.
Number one is the curvy Barbie with the blue hair.  Screams freak in the sheets.
Number two Auburn hair Barbie,  seems classy and her hair reminds me of my Kate’s hair when she had it done up for one of her gigs for work.
Number three Barbie is nubian princess Barbie.  That chocolate skin and exotic beauty is hot but she’s killing it in that outfit. Timeless.
Number four is the shorter Barbie based on the fact that she’s got more curves than that scrawny bleach blond Barbie.
Number five is scrawny bleach blond Barbie.
Number six is bad denim Barbie.  Only reason she came in sixth behind scrawny bleached blond Barbie is because I have a physical aversion to bad denim and that’s just plain bad denim.  Only thing worse would be high waisted bad denim.  If Bad denim Barbie was wearing nubian princess Barbies’ outfit she would leapfrog to number 2.

All this being said I think the manufacturers missed a huge marketing opportunity overlooking the most perfect Barbie in the world,  modeled one of the new Barbies after my Kate,  but seeing as they are trying to go away from unattainable beauty I could see why they would shy away from that option.

 

How owe would your rankings go?
