Barbie Girls were my favorite dolls growing up, but they're kind of stereotyping women pretty badly.
They have been around since March of 1959 and have had a great influence on girls.
Yeah I actually meant the song Barbie Girl by Aqua, my mistake I had a bit of a brain fart and confused barbie girl with barbie doll.
I know how that goes. It's no problem. The song was released in May of 1997 by the band Aqua.
Boy all that way back in 1997, feels like only yesterday. Do you know the names of the Aqua members? I can't remember them right now.
All I know it that they are Danish and they formed the band in 1989 and achieved huge success by the late 1990s - early 2000s.
I wonder what they're up to now, do you know if they released anything in the last 10 years even?
The song was the subject of the "Mattell v. MCA Records" case and I am not sure if they released anything more after going through the lawsuit.
Oh that would make a lot of sense, I had no idea they were sued because of that, that's unfortunate.
Mattel sued them because the song was about Barbie and Ken, dolls made by Mattel.
