I don't like kids.....but.....you know.
==============================================



Barbie is the ultimate big-haired blonde, but there’s a grassroots movement afoot to make her go bald.

Two women whose lives have been touched by cancer are urging toy giant Mattel to make a Barbie without a ‘do to help kids come to terms with hair loss.

Their Facebook page for the “Beautiful and Bald Barbie” campaign had won about 50,000 fans by Thursday — more “likes” than Mattel’s corporate page.

New Jersey photographer Jane Bingham helped kick it off in December after reading about a 4-year-old Long Island girl who received a one-of-a-kind hairless Barbie from Mattel.

Bingham, 41, lost her own hair while fighting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year and noticed her 9-year-old, Belleliana, had a tough time with it.

“She would imitate me, putting scarves on her head,” said Bingham, who lives in Sewell, N.J. “I’d really love to see this Barbie come with some scarves, maybe a hat and maybe a wig, to make it interactive.”

Bingham joined forces with California resident Beckie Sypin, mother of a 12-year-old girl with leukemia. Her daughter Kin, whose hair fell out, loved the idea.

“She wants to take a bunch of them to the children's hospital where she gets her treatment," Sypin said.

Mattel issued a statement saying it was “honored” by the request and takes all such ideas “seriously” — but did not suggest it would manufacture the doll.

Dr. Abraham Bartell, a child psychiatrist at New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, said special toys for kids with hair-loss are available, but a Barbie would be useful because it’s so iconic.

“It would be easier on parents if they could just go into a toy store and find them,” he said.

But he said a bald Barbie could be a tough sell in stores.

“I think there would be a push back from parents who would have to explain something to their children that makes them feel uncomfortable," he said.

Long Island cancer patient Michele Brodtman, 38, said she told 6-year-old daughter Eryn about the doll idea today and got a hug.

“She was really frightened when I lost my hair in chemotherapy,” the East Islip mom of two said. “She said I didn’t look like a girl.”

Supporters plan to keep up the pressure.

A Change.org petition has more than 1,000 signatures. And a second Facebook page popped up — with 1,000 fans — pushing G.I. Joe to shave his head for the cause.

This should be released in Japan first to get the population ready for what's coming.

Soft Kill Barbie

It may sound like a stupid , ridiculous idea, however when a child is suffering through the tortuous rounds of chemo and radiation to their poor sick bodies
and have no hair and are on the verge of death or if they are not sick themselves, but having to see a mother, father or sibling go through it ....well,
I am sorry, I will go around the world, to the moon and back again 10 times for my kid if she is suffering and would like a bald Barbie doll to make her feel
better during her suffering.

Ever go to a children's hospital on Christmas day with hundreds of kids sick and dying ?

You'd take them anything they want to ease their suffering even if it is a stupid dumb bald Barbie doll.

And then I'd go buy the accessories like wigs, scarves & whatever else she wanted.

Kids shouldn't get cancer, it's the most awful, horrifying ordeal to see.

I get so frustrated, angered, depressed and upset when I see parents giving their children the normal vaccination schedule because they are taught to "immunize" them. They get the vax, they take them for constant antibiotics, they take them in for allergies and shots & allergy meds (wonder why they have allergies now after all that in just 3 or 4 yrs of life ) then they get the booster shots before school starts at age 5.

Then feed them the garbage, digusting garbage that the TPTB calls food and then feed their child
FLUORIDATED water to wash the monsanto food down with.

Their tiny immune systems get so damaged beyond repair & cancer starts to kill them and then they get chemical therapy and radiation burns on top of aready being sick with cancer and lose their hair.

Let them have their Barbies.

Parents innocently, UNKNOWINGLY, are putting their child in the graves .

I know for sure that there is a cure for cancer......but someone is making a lot of money by allowing the cancer to spread.

That makes two of us Ponce.

When you have more people making a living OFF of cancer than are dying from cancer, you'll never see it go away.

There is no money in cures for disease, the money is in the come back.

Medication. They want you to be 'medicated' not cured.

If it makes the kids feel better I say good, poor babies,I can't imagine how scared they are, even getting cancer as a adult is super scary, imagine the little ones fear.If the barbies help, good.

@ ponce , I believe there is a cure too ! But everyone is making to much money. My sisters treatment just for the chemo/erbitex will run $30,000 for a month, although she only had it 6 times.
