"Remember you heard it first from me"
(Read from an essay by Patty Huggler from Liberty High School)
"Barbie began as a cartoon named Lili in a German tabloid similar to
the Inquirer. The doll was 11.5 inches with buxon breats, and was intended
to be an adult male sex pet sold in bars and tobacco stores. The
doll came in two separate sexy outfits. The overseas market was not
promising until Mattel turned the blonde sexpot Lili into brunette Barbie
for girls. In a study of 100 mothers and daughters, nearly all the
mothers said the dolls were too mature looking and didn't want their
children playing with them. nearly all the girls wanted one."
