Riding Backwards On the Ferris Wheel With Barbie Of all People

I had a lot of fun writing about Barbie and friends. Many pre-pubescent girls play with their Barbies as a way to learn about relationships, while most pre-teen boys prefer to play with trucks. I have read many studies on this subject, which all claim to be true and factual. I am far from being a sexist as both my son and daughter played with trucks and Barbies together, Usually they would end up tying long strings around the dolls neck while they proceeded to hang them outside the doll house windows!So much for dolls acting as role models.

I would appreciate any and all critiques. I actually welcome them as another source to help me to improve what I write, since they push me to become a better writer.

Thanks in advance for helping me,
