Barbie through the ages..

(via slate.com)

...reflecting our modes and mores, natch:

2007 Barbie with her faux credit card and 'spend, spend, SPEND!' ad is particularly telling.

What will 2009 Barbie be like?

I think Barbie '09 better be OK with Wardrobe by Thrift Store (and the occasional Macy's going-out-of-business sale), hair by Supercuts (or Flowbee), and seing a "For Sale - Bank Owned" sign in front of the Malibu Dream House.
