Miss Barbie

The title Barbie conjures up misconstrued images of the perfect woman: a (insert skin color), eurocentric, stick-figure, curve-less as a matchstick, flat in all the wrong places, and servile to the most adequate male's desires so long as he can afford her. Picture Paris Hilton and you have the ideal Barbie. Since the creation of Barbie, the ridiculous standards of the ideal woman never cease to tap out, despite it is all subjective. Barbie indirectly ***** girls to reconsider their own bodies, and to take their body image seriously beyond the norms of a healthy, normal lifestyle. She encourages them to take extreme measures because what matters is not a woman's worth to herself but a woman's worth to the world out there. Image is everything.

Guys don't mind if you're brainless. If it is not Barbie teaching young girls to try and achieve an unrealistic image, then it is silly trends magazines directing women to go to great lengths not to impress the oppositve sex, but to toe the line of the current trends. It is women perceiving themselves as how other women say they should through mediums such the fashion world, magazines, and anything mainstream that tries to redefine woman.

Thank goodness, Marta is a Barbie who is a woman and not a stale breadstick. I love Marta's body. She is short and thick with large breasts, a lovely skintone, a greast ass, and diamonds for eyes. Her shows are nearly flawless. She has fun, loves the camera, and moves at a steady pace. Her only drawback is in the explicit area. She is not explicit at all and that is okay. My problem is that she covers her snatch with one hand amateurishly, and thus it limits her moves.

Continued.

Her self-reservations about not showing it all boggles the mind of some people and preferably, it would be easier if she kept her panties on because she is a great mover. She is no Karina but she can dance and like Karina she is sensual as she is exciting which is a desired trait unanswered by some girls like Sandra Sanchez.

In a word, Sandra Sanchez is a slowed down version of Alexandra. S. Sanchez is boring at times. Her expressions range from blank to reactionary to the directions she is given. Standing up, she sways left, right, while she rubs herself. She does not move around but stands in one spot. If she does move, then it is directed. She is not in control of the stage but rather limited by what she SHOULD do, not what she can do.

Continued.

What she should do is relax and take over but she doesn't. She is told to go and she plays like a rerun of a low-budget softcore film done in a bedroom with the girl staring wide-eye at the director and, in a monotone voice, moans "yes, yes, that feels good." Denisa K is a sensual performer but does what she wants until she is told to stop. She controls everything - the camera, audience, the stage, all in her addictive performances.

Alexandra can be addictive but addictions are usually illogical because it is the same thing again and again but it's never enough. Yet, when the white light hits, all you are left with is Alexandra swinging her hips side to side, finger in mouth, and her eyes rarely blink. She has an aggressive look but when you look closer, Alexandra is being directed throughout her shows. She often pauses in her shows for directions, then gets in a different position and does the same thing. She is like an impressionable, interested Nadine.

Continued.

She wants to impress you and wants to do whatever to make you happy but she has to be told what to do. Like a ***** in bed trying to be a hooker. I am sorry, but she lacks autonomy and creativity in her shows. Though I am a fan of Alexandra, I need a pro. I need Vicky S.

Ah, Vicky S. She could make even the most religious man have a change of heart. She is a pure pro when it comes to stripping. She is raunchy, has good pole work, somewhat explicit, and always gives a great show. Not at all a dancer though. She relies heavy on the raunch factor and uses her porn acting in her shows. That's NOT a criticism on her though as she is preferred by many over girls who are more conservative in their shows. Of all the candidates, Vicky S fits the image of what a Barbie is pictured to be. My initial impression of her was that she was a stick with melons. She was not a real woman. She was an image perfected for the male libido, her own commodity. Continued.

What is not mentioned though, in all cases, is what really counts: the girl's inner beauty, which can never change. Call it cheesy if you want, but it is the truth.

Well, enough chitchatting, enjoy your Barbies. :)

As always comments are welcome. Thanks for voting and comments.

Another not so easy decision. Beatrix, Alexandra and Marta
I decided to vote for Marta.
The pic shows why.

I BADLY wanted to vote for Marta but Vicky is a blonde... I'm saddened tody. Oh well. Go Vicky and Marta!!!

Sandra Sanchez and Vicky S are the only two I need to consider . I went with the natural girl , Sandra .

Cybervixen - good point but Barbie also has come out with a Brunette version, a black version, Hispanic, etc. I think my point in calling this poll "Barbie" was more about the image problem it creates for young girls psychologically, not necessarily the typical physical image when you think about Barbie. Marta, physically, greatly contradicts this paradigm while Vicky S fits it. I thought it would be better if I selected girls that ironically did not match the term and were actually better i.e. real women. Sorry, if this poll is bad. I knew the candidates would be a bit unexpected.

A face-palm for me, then. :)

The Ironic Brits Strike Again !!!
Give us Back our Colonies !!!

Marta for me in this one. One of my top 5 favourite ladies on vghd, so a must.
