Japanese dolls are quite advanced. The industry has been making them for various purposes for quite some time, combining individual artistic talent with mass reproduction.

Is Lammily intended to function as a safety blanket for ordinary ladies? I wonder what Gammily, the gentlemen’s doll, will resemble. Our modern society seems to find solace in lowered expectations.

Just checked out the Lammily site. The doll itself is cute, but the clothing thus far available is, well, lame, compared with Barbie’s. And the clothing is a lot of what makes Barbie such fun for little girls.

Never been pregnant, slender all throughout teens and twenties, now slightly overweight, alas. I got stretch marks on my thighs during puberty that are still there. They’re barely visible except in certain lighting, but they are there.

My husband on the other hand has also never been pregnant (obviously 🙂 ) but he is somewhat overweight. He has stretch marks on his stomach from weight gain.

And SCOTTthe Badger, that CY Girl sounds awesome 🙂

I went from being a normal/slenderish child to being a normal/ slenderish adolescent. Much taller, and therefore also much larger on circumference, in order to maintain similar proportions.

I got my first stretch marks at 12, 13. On my thighs. I didn’t get fat. I went from childhood to adolescent in a big growth spurt. Ugh.

When I became a police officer, I bought my then 7 year old niece, a CY Girl, a 12″ female police officer action figure. My sister would not let my niece have her, as she had a sidearm. My sister called her Stormtrooper Barbie. Anyhow, the doll now lives on top of my computer. CY Girls, except for their bustlines, which are Barbiesque, are very proportional. ( The CY Girls come from Japan, who are very enthusiastic about blondes with D cups. ) My CY is named Marybeth, because she bears a scary likeness to my Cousin Marybeth, even to the ” don’t mess with me ” look like Swedish Viking women can have. My other sister, when she was over with her son, laughed that Marybeth’s feet were just as large as her son’s 12″ GI Joes feet. CYs are fully articulated, and their hands are molded with individual fingers, that can grasp. Modern toys can be very impressive.

The War on Barbie and Disney Princesses is actually amusing to me.

I just speak from experience that I have not known one girl in my class – elementary, high school and college – that wanted to be skinny or get breast implants because of a plastic doll they might have owned in their childhood. If they are conscious about the appearance of their body is because they maybe overweight (trying to get back to their high school form) or they’re preparing for a marathon or some endurance contest.

It’s possible for young girls to get minor stretch marks around the hips and breasts around the time of puberty. I speak from experience. It’s nothing like the stretch marks that often go along with pregnancy, but it happens. Fortunately they fade with time.
