A wise man once said, "Barbie..." OK, that's ridiculous, actually, because wise men tend not to speak to Barbie, who is, after all a doll.
Is it possible that there is any wisdom in the Barbie universe, where everything possible is bubble-gum pink and girls do all the fun jobs (except pilot). It looks pretty fun, in a perky, squealing sort of way that I don't personally find appealing for more than a couple of hours. But it's still fun, and Barbie and pals don't seem to spend a lot of time pondering their problems. Things just don't seem that complicated. Maybe that's a wise way to live.
The biggest drawback to the Barbie universe is that Ken can seem rather dull against the party pink. But maybe that's easier, too, and wiser. Why date exciting and undependable men, when Ken is always hanging around ready to be helpful and fly things?
