L: Lawyer Barbie

 

#AtoZChallenge 2024 letter L





Lawyer is one of the Barbies depicted in the movie, as seen above. But did you know that there has never been an official doll called "Lawyer Barbie"? I did not know until I saw this  short video. Amazing. Though the Legally Blonde 2 inspired doll does fit well with the Barbie pink theme. This article (warning: contains spoilers) says that the concept of Legally Blonde was taken a step further in the Barbie movie.


When I first searched for "Lawyer Barbie" dolls on Amazon, the results were those seen here. It was not until I looked on Youtube and found the video linked above (I could not find a way to embed it into my post). Again, it's strange that Barbie has never been officially depicted as a lawyer, out of all the careers she has had. This would be a perfect fit.

To embed something: click on the Share button under the video. On the next screen, click the Embed button. The next screen has all the embed code you need: click the Copy button, which puts it on your clipboard. Then go back to the editor, figure out where you want to ut the video, and paste the code you copied in the previous step.

Yes, I know all that, but this video did not have that option.

That is strange indeed! But, then again, people can have very negative views of lawyers so perhaps Mattel is trying not to incur dislike-by-association.

Oh my. That's something Mattel should fix. They should totally do a lawyer Barbie.

When I insert videos in my posts now, I use the "insert video" option. In the taskbar, next to photo, is a video thing. If you go to the search for video, you can put in the YouTube link, and it should find it. (Not always, of course.)

It would be a good fit, wouldn't it?
Enjoy your weekend;)

I agree with you. I just looked it up and it says Barbie has had 250 careers. That's a surprise! And yet, no lawyer Barbie.

I remember lawyer Barbie inn the movie, but I didn't know there wasn't an actual lawyer Barbie. I wonder why there has never been one.

Those Legally Blonde dolls look a lot like Barbie... Wonder if there's a legal issue keeping Mattel from having a lawyer Barbie?
