Addition of "Candy Striper" to Tropes List

* CandyStriper: In between her many, many careers, Barbie seems to have time to volunteer at the hospital as a Candy Striper. Several outfit sets have been released, and even a book detailing her adventures was published:
** In ''Literature/BarbiesCandyStripedSummer'', the eponymous Barbie volunteers at a hospital, finds romance, and learns the value of community service.
** In 1964, a Candy Striper Barbie outfit was released (800 series, #889). The ensemble featured a red-and-white striped jumperskirt over a white blouse, with sensible white sneakers, a nurse's cap, and a tray filled with items for Barbie's patients (orange juice, a hot water bottle, a wash cloth, etc.).
** Mattel also released a 1973 Candy Striper set (#7709) for Francie Fairchild, a doll marketed as Barbie's cousin. The outfit was nearly identical to the Candy Striper set released for Barbie a few years earlier, with a few differences in the included accessories.
** In 2009, a "Barbie Fashion Doll Career Clothes" Nurse outfit and accessory set was released (model #R4259). The set featured a white dress with pink-and-white candy-striped fabric accents on the pockets, pipping, & hem, and an illusion neckline/ under-shirt of the same material.

** It is not, however, true that Barbie was the first child's doll made as a young woman or the "first doll with breasts". Dolls very much like Barbie, often made to resemble film stars, date back almost 100 years. They were apparently put out by dress pattern manufacturers as models for little kids learning to sew. You can just barely see one in the dime store scene at the beginning of the 1945 ''Literature/ATreeGrowsInBrooklyn'' film version.

Barbie is also the subject of controversy, due to her figure being stylized and therefore impossible in RealLife, and thereby supposedly giving girls an "unrealistic" role model, though her figure was slightly modified in the late 1990s in response to these complaints. Mattel is careful to make sure Barbie's image remains "wholesome" and getting dolls into roles that were once seen as unsuitable for women. Mattel featured a NASA Astronaut Barbie just two years after Valentina Tereshkova (from the Soviet Union) became the first woman to go into space and Mattel has been releasing "Barbie for President" dolls since 1992.
