Why does growing up causes a discussion? Every human grows up. I was just curious to see if it still works. What I don’t really understand is the controversity my video caused. I found one and it was not the problem to get one in Europe. Some people told me that it she is hard to find. I don’t even know how good or bad she did sell. Talking Barbies don’t talk anymore because their mechanism works with a rubber band which tends to melt within a decade.

Essentially what happens is when you turn Skipper’s arm counter clockwise, her torso grows in length and her bust grows slightly. How, you ask?
