Barbie Games and Brunettes

It’s funny if you think about it. Of all the various Barbie dolls available in the toy stores, there are probably two brunettes for every blonde beauty. So why do we insist and picture Barbie as a blonde? It is the Barbie movies that have made us convinced that Barbie is really a blonde? I guess this could very well be the case.

It may also be true that the actual doll named Barbie is, in fact, a blonde. But what about all of those other dolls who have darker hair? If you do a bit of research, it turns out that most of those dolls aren’t actually named Barbie. Most of them are Barbie’s friends and they have their own names and special elements. But the point remains – when we think about playing Barbies, why do we immediately assume we’re playing with a blonde doll? I, for one, have always enjoyed the darker haired dolls more anyhow.
