I got it because I felt like it. It also gives me a reason to start using up my scrap cloth (I've got a garbage bag's worth of it in my closet), though I gotta start with baby steps since I haven't done much other than dice bags or phone pouches..

Some of the older Barbie outfits weren't that bad. There was actually variety; I used to have a bunch when I was little.

the outfits aren't all going to be hyper-"feminine". that's true. but the image of barbie itself is, and so naturally it isn't surprising that some of the outfits will be. barbie's physical proportions are unnatural, and biologically impossible, but presented as though it is not only the norm but the ideal.

first, you need to find a quiet, relaxing, non-distracting place to be alone. this should readily be outdoors, but it doesn't have to be. the idea is to be natural and comfortable.
you connect to nature. the nature of the world; your personal nature. be your natural self, and feel your place as connected with the whole of creation.
allow yourself to enter a state of meditation. there are many meditative practices, and none of them are wrong. specifically, we are looking for a trance-state. you can use a steady drum beat, if that helps. or some ambient flute music. some people use electronic chill-out music. I don't recommend psychotropics, but they are traditionally used (peyote, DMT, hallucinogenic mushroom, etc...).
you want to enter your Inner Realm, so in effect this is a type of Astral Projection exercise. but the difference is that you are trying to reach your higher consciousness, and simultaneously your lower consciousness. to become attuned to your most genuine self.
have no expectations. epty your mind of desires or anxieties or predictions. just be. your Vision will come to you on it's own.

Sounds like something I can try later on. . . Maybe I can steal a chair and sit outside in the empty lot next to me. I'm going to laugh so hard if my animal is a ******** rabbit. XD

it wouldn't be a bad animal, nor would your reaction be a bad one. ^_^ as far as I'm concerned, laughter, whether out of humor or any other reason to trigger it, is one of the best behaviors there is.

IIRC there was a study where children were allowed to choose from a group of dolls in the same style and height, but with different body shapes. They usually chose one that wasn't too thin (and lacking feminine features) but wasn't chunky either. Large bust, medium behind, small waist I think.
I don't know if this was before or after Barbie was introduced though...

I'm willing to put money on the table that it was after. I'd bet literally $600.00 on that (enough to get me out of credit debt).
