Barbie Store in Buenos Aires

As you already know, I don't like barbie dolls
. Barbies sell a harmful role model to young girls, and it has a stereotypical vision of Latinas. Now, we have a Barbie Store in Buenos Aires, "the only place in the world where the girls dream of looking like the doll can become true."
Yes, that's right: now they are selling the possibility of actually transform little girls in a Barbie. How nice.
"Barbie Store is a place where the babies feel like grown ups and the mothers return to their childhood", said Tito Loizeau, one of the store's owners.
The clothing line has attracted even 16 years old teenagers, and the company is thinking about an adult clothing line. More branches are planned for South America.
This hole project gives me the creeps.
