RE: Barbie as a sex symbol.

Wikipedia says:

Midge Hadley is a fictional doll character in the Barbie line of toys by Mattel that was first released in 1963. Midge was created, along with Skipper, to counteract criticism that claimed Barbie was a sex symbol. She was marketed as Barbie’s best friend. No Midge dolls were sold for the rest of the vintage years after the 1960s.

In the most recent fictional Barbie storyline, often written on the backs of the dolls’ boxes, Midge and Allan have three children, two who are named Ryan and Nikki and one who is not named. This was known as the Happy Family line, and was the subject of controversy when Midge was sold “pregnant” with Nikki as a newborn baby.

Oh. My. God.  What if you were cast (ok, created) as the answer to Barbie as a sex symbol?  Poor Midge never had a chance.
