BARBIE DOLLS: Objects and What they Signify for Real Estate

I was previewing a home recently. Came upon a young girl's room. In it were several Barbie Dolls. They were prominently displayed throughout her room. So, I began wondering what Barbies signify for young girls in our society.

I had Barbies growing up. They seem to teach young girls how to dress, how to have romantic relationships (with Ken), and how to become consumers. Barbies always want to shop till they drop.

Guess it is a good thing that we teach young girls and women to shop. Afterall, it seems to me that the woman is the person who decides it is time to buy a house!

Maybe we should create and give away HOUSE HUNTING BARBIES! They might make a real difference in the turn around of this market!

Just a thought.
