Isn’t it great that there are so many new bald dolls around? Mattel has created new bald dolls at the request of many individuals who signed a petition requesting the bald fashion dolls. The hope is that the bald dolls make young cancer patients more comfortable with their own hair loss by playing with bald Barbie games instead of the dolls with long, flowing locks. Of course, the bald Barbie games aren’t just for the cancer victims themselves, they are also perfectly suitable for little girls without cancer as well.
Cancer is sadly still very much a part of our culture, and it’s likely that every little girl will brush up against someone with cancer at some point in their formative years. By playing with the bald Barbie dolls, they are able to see that’s it’s not so odd when a woman loses her hair and, in fact, playing with a bald Barbie isn’t so very far removed from playing with any friend or family member who may have lost her hair.
