Here's an interesting article in today's Irish times (http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/magazine/2009/0704/1224250034206.html) :-
In the West, the Barbie doll symbolises particularly superficial form of consumerism, but in China, it has become associated feminist movement that is challenging long-established patriarchal norms, writes CLIFFORD COONAN in Shanghai
SHE’S BLONDE, SHE smiles all the time, and Shanghai’s newest and hippest shopping emporium is dedicated to her. She’s 11½ inches high. Her name is Barbie.

Interesting Article. I had a Chinese (in his 60's i think) man here tell me that if I wanted a truly good wife. "Go to the country". "There women still know their place." He was dead serious. I just chuckled and told him too late. He just shook his head laughed and said I would be sorry. I guess that coincides with the article on women in the cities and in the country.

Just have a look at it ^^

I cannot help you on this one. I only remove the clothes from real life dolls. Not even lifesize inflatable dolls, just real life dolls.
