Breast Cancer Barbie

posted Friday, 9 March 2007

Have any of you seen Mattel's Breast Cancer Barbie?? She was released in 2006, with excellent intentions, and Mattel has promised to donate $250k to the Susan G Komen Foundation (now Susan G. Komen for the Cure).



If you can imagine, a young breast cancer survivor might have a difficult time relating to the glam gal above...

Leave it to Linnea, a hip-chick who frequently posts on the YSC (Young Survival Coalition) message board to come up with a more accurate version of Breast Cancer Barbie -- one we can actually relate to! Check out Linnea's website, with a full description and additional shots of BC Barbie here: http://rickster.rb-com.com/linnea/cancer-barbie.htm

I like the second picture better. The first reminds me of growing up in the 80s in Georgia... Glad you're on the mend!
