The New Barbie Doll

Just two days late after Purim, this finally arrive by me:-



Mattel's Halloween Hip Barbie 2006 comes with a lovely frum denim skirt, so she's perfect for turning into a nice Modern Orthodox girl. As well as the tallit (with tekhelet, of course) and tefillin, she has a beret; this kind of girl is uncomfortable in a kippah. A siddur and a gemara are keeping her busy. A lot of people wondered why she has a Steinsaltz gemara - a Vilna gemara at four centimetres high would be completely unrecognisable, that's why! It's not a statement about Steinsaltz, women, or blondes.
