I don't know about y'all, but I am super excited for Mattel to release the new bald barbie. At 23, I'm probably a bit too old to play, but this is a big deal for someone like me. I've been dealing with hair loss since I was a kid, and always loved playing with Barbie dolls. Finally a doll that looks (somewhat) like me. Of course, I'd love to see a spectrum of skin colors and body shapes in this doll, but this is definitely progress! I feel so excited about the potential for this doll to represent a wide community of people suffering from hair loss. Introducing a bald Barbie into the marketplace is a tremendous step forward in raising awareness and reducing the stigma.
