My Thoughts on the 'Bald Barbie'

Ummm... Well does it really bring awareness to Trich?
Okay, so a little girl goes up to the toy shelf, she won't pick the bald barbie, she'll pick one with hair. No?
Which is basically reinforced by society.
I mean, the Barbie franchise has created this image of 'perfection' which girls compare themselves to. So to be having the Barbie company produce a 'Bald Barbie' is ironic.
I wonder how sales went on the Bald Barbie. I sure wouldn't want a bald barbie.
Having these feelings and knowing that girls who buy barbies probably won't want a bald barbie, is sad. It exposes us with Trich sorta negatively.
