THE BARBIE

In the decade of the 50s, a mother watched intently to his daughter (Barbara) while playing. The small, very excited, spent hours dressing and undressing cardboard cutout dolls. His mother thought it would be an excellent idea to manufacture a plastic doll, about 30 cm., With an indefinite age between 16 and 20 years for the girls to dress, comb and transform. Ruth and her husband Elliot Handler (co-founder of Mattel.) Created the first mannequin doll in the world who bears the name of their daughter "Barbara", which in English is abbreviated "Barbie". Whose creation was inspired by a German doll Bild Lilli. 

The official debut of Barbie took place at the annual Toy Fair in New York on March 9, 1959. In his "debut" Barbie blonde hair wearing a very 60s, with a bathing suit in your pattern simulating the zebra skin.
Over the years the models have been known to update and hair color wrist and shape and professions (Nurse, skater, executive, surgeon etc. Since then the fame of the Barbie doll has spread throughout the world and has continued to grow, to become the best-selling doll in the world. in 1979, Barbie comes to Spain, joining this country in the list of 140 countries where the doll is sold.
In 2009, Barbie celebrated its 50th anniversary.

THE PROCESS OF CREATING AND DESIGN

The manufacturing process is not easy and requires many specialized professionals. The doll body is shaped by injection molding system, but its face is painted by hand with six or seven different colors of ink, which is performed by means of masks that are applied successively to achieve realistic colors. The hair is implanted by hand, using sewing machines. Once attached the head to the body, we proceed to the haircut and hairstyle, task requiring great precision.
Fashion is very important for Barbie. In fact, her wardrobe not only offers every year new models, hair and makeup, but constantly inspires creativity of the most prestigious designers and couturiers. All her clothes are very close to the actual clothes. Her dresses are made by hand, despite its size, following the trends of the moment. To do this, Mattel designers visit the most important fairs and fashion shows in the world (Paris, Milan, New York, etc.), in order to learn about the collections each season.

DISPUTES AND CURIOSITIES OF THE BARBIE

The Barbie doll is a benchmark of beauty that is part of language and social construction of our culture, which exerts a specific pressure on the idea of beauty both men and women: extreme thinness, blonde hair, huge eyelashes, green eyes and youth eternal
One of the biggest scandals occurred in the decade of the sixties, was when the wrist was accompanied by a book entitled "How to lose weight" advised not to eat,
In 1992 there was another event that caused a stir in the world. Mattel released Teen Talk Barbie, a doll that said a series of phrases how are you: "Did you ever have enough clothes?", "Math class is tough!" "I love shopping!". The latter, which was sparked major criticism that reached the American Association of University Women. In the same year, Mattel announced that Teen Talk Barbie would no longer phrase, and offered a swap to anyone who had the wrist.
Among the most recent developments is the 2009 with the launch of a new model "Totally Tattoo Barbie", which included a series of tattoos that could be applied to the wrist, including a lower back tattoo, leading to controversy. The promotional material read "Customize the fashions and fun temporary tattoos and apply your own", but Ed Mayo, chief executive of Consumer Focus, argued that girls would want to be permanently tattooed and therefore was not an appropriate toy.
Another of the most problematic cases is the desire of young people to become a Barbie in the flesh, which has been subjected to extreme diets and multiple surgeries to become 'perfect'.
First there was the case of Kota Koti, an American teenager who apparently is the pioneer of this phenomenon. His videos on YouTube, explaining the tricks to become a Barbie, are close to half a million hits. There are over 18 years old, slim, shown makeup and combed the doll style and of course, recognition encourages other women to seek the prototype of the famous doll.
In June 2012 another became known as a real person with similar characteristics to the wrist, his image has gone around the world. Her name is Valerie Lukyanova, 21 and Ukrainian nationality.

ALADDIN AND THE WONDERFUL LAMP

Aladdin was a humble, good and young partner. He lived in Arabia with his mother, because his father had died when he was very young. But Aladdin liked to remember. "Your father's name was Mustafa 'I said his mother, a hardworking and honest man, but a strange jealously guarded secret."

Her mother found something suspicious because Mustafa never spoke to him in such relative, but when he was generous with Aladdin, agreed to go aside for a walk through the woods. They walked up to the entrance of a desolate cave. "You have to enter ordered the subject because there is a magic lamp that will make us rich." But Aladdin refused, the man struggled and was proceeding force, walling up the entrance with a huge rock. Did you mourn, but what they saw his eyes left him stunned: "Gee Whiz is a fabulous treasure!". Were chests of coins, gold jewelry and bright; but his life was in danger.

Then he saw the lamp. "It would be really magical" thought, and to clean the dust, a thundering noise hurt his ears, poking the image of a genius, who with his powerful voice he said, "Master, I am here to serve. Ask me what you want, you will be served. "Aladdin could not believe it and yet already felt that he could not breathe. He then ordered the genie, "Take me where my mother." And he was transported home. Told him everything to his mother, who said, "I love you live before all the gold in the world." Meanwhile, the supposed uncle fled to Africa, but soon return. Aladdin gold partitioned among the poorest and asked the genie to grant him the love of the Sultan's daughter. When he did, the happiest man on earth felt. The course uncle was indeed an old enemy of Mustafa and returned to steal the Wonderful Lamp. He did so, but genius, tired of abuses returned where Aladdin.

Summary the Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast

A merchant lived in a city with his three daughters, of whom the youngest is named Belle for being lovely and pure of heart.

After some years of this, he hears that one of the trade ships sent by him self had arrived in port,  therefore he returns to the city to discover whether it contains anything of monetary value.

Before leaving, he asks his daughters whether they desire that he bring them any gift upon his return.

His two oldest daughters ask for jewelry and dresses, Belle is satisfied with the promise of a rose, as none grow in their part of the country.

The merchant finds that his ship's cargo has been seized to pay his debts, leaving him without money by which to buy his daughters their presents.

During his return, he becomes lost in a forest.

Seeking shelter, he enters a castle.

He finds inside tables laden with food and drink, which have apparently been left for him by the castle's owner.

The merchant accepts this gift and is about to leave when he sees a rose garden and recalls that Belle had desired a rose.

Upon picking the most lovely rose he finds, the merchant is confronted by a hideous 'Beast', which tells him that for taking his (the Beast's) most precious possession after accepting his hospitality, the merchant must stay his prisoner forever.

The merchant begs to be set free, arguing that he had only picked the rose as a gift for his youngest daughter.

The Beast agrees to let him go only if the merchant will send his daughter to live in the castle in his place.

He tries, upon arriving home, to hide the secret from Belle; but she pries it from him and willingly goes to the Beast's castle.

The Beast receives her graciously and treats her as his guest.

He gives her lavish clothing and food and carries on lengthy conversations with her.

Each night, the Beast asks Belle to marry him, only to be refused each time.

Eventually, Belle becomes homesick and begs the Beast to allow her to go to see her family.

He allows it, if she will return exactly a week later.

Belle agrees to this and sets off for home with an enchanted mirror and magic ring.

The mirror allows her to see what is going on back at the castle, and the ring allows her to return to the castle in an instant.

Her older sisters was surprised to find her well fed and dressed in finery.

They grow jealous and, hearing that she must return to the Beast on a certain day, beg her to stay another day, Belle's heart is moved and she agrees to stay.

Belle begins to feel guilty about breaking her promise to the Beast and uses the mirror to see him back at the castle.

She is horrified to discover that the Beast is lying half-dead of heartbreak near the rose bushes her father had stolen from and she immediately uses the ring to return.

By the time Belle finds the Beast he is already dead, and she weeps over him, saying that she loves him.

When her tears strike him, the Beast comes back to life and was transformed into a handsome prince.

The Prince informs Belle that long ago a fairy turned him into a hideous beast after he refused to let her in from the rain, and that only by finding true love, despite his ugliness, could the curse be broken. 

He and Belle are married and they lived happily ever after together.
