Celebrity Barbies: Claudia Schiffer and who else?

After “Claudia Schiffer”-Barbie
Greta, Baerbock, Shirin David – the world needs these five Barbie models

Children learn about the world through play. It’s nice that you can now Claudia Schiffer can be bought as a Barbie doll – in her legendary Versace dress. Or as the product description says: “It’s ethereal and shimmers from every angle. Claudia’s look is completed by matching strappy heels, her famous blonde curls and soft makeup.” The subversive thing about the Versace strappy combination: It’s light blue! All little girls learn from playing supermodels that you can’t just look at the world through rose-colored glasses.

Here are five suggestions to Mattel as to which Barbie models based on famous role models could improve children and the world even more.

Greta Thunberg

Greta Barbie wears a beguiling activist outfit consisting of a light gray quilted jacket, dark gray knitted hat and dirty gray cargo pants. Their fancy look is complemented by signs with various slogans such as “Stand With Gaza”, “Free Palestine” and “When is Friday again?” This is how the little ones learn to deal with hate emails at an early age. Unfortunately, Greta’s partner, the gray stuffed octopus Ken, is currently not available.

Shirin David

How could it be any different? Shirin Barbie comes in a breathtaking blood-red halterneck dress in which she likes to tear the heads off of old white men. Speaking of which: your partner Thommy “Ken” Gottschalk is currently on special offer! He comes in a wine-red partner look, his head can be screwed on and off. This means that even the littlest ones will understand in no time how to deal with sexists – bet you?

Annalena Baerbock

The doll for the ambitious child: Annalena Barbie with five stylish outfits. The stunning minimal look of the trouser suits and simple dresses signals: “I am me and stay as I am – even if nothing else works.” The scope of delivery includes the minister’s most important accessories: official aircraft (broken), traffic light (broken) and Robert “Ken” Habeck (broken).

Alice Schwarzer

There is life after the twelfth birthday: this is our model Alice Barbie’s message to all girls. Black loose dresses demonstrate that a feminist message and fancy fashion don’t have to be a contradiction. How fitting that Alice’s partner seems to come from a completely different world: Sahra “Ken” Wagenknecht in a bright red costume. Accessories: her “Manifesto for Peace” plus a map of Europe (excluding Ukraine).

Franca Lehfeldt

Franca Barbie is dressed in her unforgettable wedding look: white jumper, matching cardigan and sleek hair. The journalist and author of the book “Old Wise Men: Homage to an Endangered Species” explains to three-year-olds where their place will be later – at the side of a man. Of course, Christian “Ken” Lindner is included free of charge, because like all Barbies, Franca-Barbie cannot stand alone. Stand By Your Ken!
