  Stephanie Oppenheim on Toys — Authority: 136
  There’s so much written about Barbie’s body…and the impact it has on girls. I thought it would be useful to compare her body (from the Barbie and the Three Musketeers theme) to that of the new Liv dolls ( Spinmaster ) and the Moxie Girlz ( MGA Entertainment ).
