Barbie My Scene My Bling Bling Nolee Doll

The Barbie My Scene line is geared towards older girls. It is definitely not your mother's (or the original) Barbie. That being said, my girls (7 and 9) love them. The Barbie fits in regular Barbie clothes and traditional Barbie cars. That was important for my girls. The My Scene Bling Bling Nolee (we also have the Bling Bling Barbie) does come scantily clad and have a belly button piercing. They also have more pronounced make-up and a more stylized hair-do. The accessories (a small phone, fancy purse, and plastic make-up products) are small and quickly get lost, just like with a traditional Barbie. There is a "Bling" ring for a girl's hand, but it is quite small. I had my brother-in-law pick up the Bling Bling Barbie for me prior to Christmas and he felt the My Scene should have been changed to Up-Scene. Obviously, if you want a traditional Barbie, stick with it. But, if your child wants something with a bit more flash, this is it. The girls love them, and they don't look at them and think "this is what I should look like", they just think they are fancy. You can always put them in other outfits, that is part of the fun of playing with Barbies.

A 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. A collector's item some day. Guaranteed.

HER OUTFIT! who told Mattel to make these kind of dolls? This one is sooooooooooooooooooo trashy she looks like she from Las Vegas. I got this for X-mas and I haven't opened her from her box. When I get her out I will change her clothes. And boys stop coming and reviewing trashy dolls. This one is totally a bellydancer!

This is a new low, even for our feminazi-drenched anti-culture. The whole message of this whore of a doll is to tell impressionable little girls that being superficial, arrogant, shallow and slutty are positive attributes, desirable & healthy, and that by contrast, having true strength of character, integrity, honor and modesty are for 'losers.' In other words, looking and behaving like a skank tramp = "empowerment." That term has been SO misued over the last 30 years (and particularly the last 10), that it ceases to have any truth to it whatsoever. Barbie used to epitomize what it meant to be feminine, a lady, and fulfilled -- with a husband, a home and children. Now that standard has been completely perverted and ruined with the onset of dolls like this -- exchanging true values (being a good wife and mother) for false ones (materialism and promiscuity). Even Barbie's face has been uglified -- grossly overdone mascara/eyeliner and collagened-out lips -- resembling those hideous whored-out Bratz dolls. Realize -- this is a WAR on our children's souls!

Mattel should be ashamed of themselves, to the hilt. This is child abuse, pure and simple. Any mother who allows their child to get one of these monstrosities should be jailed for neglect and have her tubes tied.

I like this doll, becuase its perfect to use if you want to make up a story about a model or movie star.
