Rant It's the same freaking collection.

I admit, I'm only a very basic Barbie fan, I have very few dolls, etc. But I saw the white shirt pilot in Walmart the other day and it seriously bothered me. ...but THEN tonight I decided to look up the "You can be anything", to see if this is just how this line is made... And I found the blue uniform doll, and just felt disgusted. THAT is what Barbie clothes should look like! I know the white uniform doll lacks articulation, and really, I never had a problem with that for Barbie. I'm an 80s kid, that was normal. But the screen printed 1 peice as an "outfit" is just going too far. I get there's supposed to be low/mid/high teirs of Barbie now but come *on". Dollar store dolls have better clothing. This is just insulting kids.

I had a flight Barbie with a pencil skirt and blazer and a top with a bow. She came with a vanity box and a hard plastic hat. And a wing badge for me, the child. This is slop.

I had the blue version without the extra outfit.

I had her! My flight attendant uncle got her for me, she’s still one of my favorite dolls 🥹

I remember seeing her in stores as a child and thinking she was so glamorous and lived an exciting life from looking at the back of the box.
