New Line Of Bad Ass Barbies Teaches Girls To Be A Rebel With A Cause

October 26, 2011 1 Comment

Barbie is finally being allowed to show her true colours, donning a punk rocker look complete with tattoos, leopard leggings, pink hair, and an adorable little pug with a little spiky green suit. But, naturally, anything that could potentially steer little girls down “the wrong path” has Mrs. Cleaver-esque parents freaking out.

Completely dismissing the blatant promotion of individuality and positive self image to little girls, parents wishing to have bad ass Barbie taken away are clearly only going to add to their daughter’s future image issues.

So, we thought it might be fun to make a list of our own Bad Ass Barbies, total individuals with killer style, regardless of what their parents or friends might think. These dollies are not afraid to let their individuality shine. Not all Barbies need to don only pink and have flowing blonde hair. Just as no little girl does.

 

Nerd Barbie

This lady is ready to study any subject at the drop of a hat. Need a calculus tutor? She’s your girl. Hating the color pink or purple, Nerd Barbie prefers the subtle hues of brown, orange and green when she is headed out on the town. Look out Ken! This one’s got beauty and brains.

Includes: seven college level books, glasses, statistics formula sheets, and Keds

 

Goth Barbie

Death kindly stopped for her. Goth Barbie spends her time writing tragic poetry and contemplating the meaning of the night. Her hair is as black as her heart. When not exploring the spirit world through the use of recreational drugs, she can be found lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

Includes: white face makeup, black eyeliner, sparkly black gel pen, notebook

 

Virtuoso Barbie

Barbie has some pipes! Practicing the piano since she was three, Barbie is now equipped with an automatic piano sonata set to ring from her fingers at all times! Capable of playing everything from the drums to the trumpet, Barbie rules the band room. Football games? Forget the cheerleaders, this girl is ready to use her mouth for something other than a man.

Includes: miniature brass instrument set, music sheets, tiny piano, and a pitch pipe

 

Teen Mom Barbie

This Barbie is so excited to have her own little Barbie! Her belly is full with sand, so it feels just like she’s really making a baby in there! She is deeply in love with her boyfriend and they are getting married in a few months! Help her bring her bundle into the world!

Includes: miniature baby bottles, crib for future little Barbie, and cell phone to call Baby Daddy

 

Protester Barbie

This Barbie is not afraid to let her voice be heard! Protester Barbie can be found frequenting “Slut Walks” in large cities and writing for feminist websites on the regular. She comes with the option of shaved or unshaved legs.
