Look Nº 885 - Old Childhood!

Olá! Sejam muito bem-vindos quem vier por bem!  Hoje vou falar-vos do assunto do momento! Se vocês acham que já viram tudo, digo-vos que ainda não viram nada! Isto a propósito da última febre de consumo que assolou o planeta! Vocês lembram-se de na nossa infância brincarmos com uns bonecos chamados baby born

Hello! Welcome to all who come in peace! Today I'm going to talk to you about the topic of the moment! If you think you've seen it all, I can tell you that you haven't seen anything yet! This is about the latest consumer craze that has swept the planet! Do you remember playing with dolls called Baby Born when we were children?

 Pois esses bebés estão de volta, mas agora feitos de forma artesanal, em vinil/silicone, bebés hiper realistas, com cabelo natural, parecem recém nascidos de verdade e custam mais que um iPhone. Até fazem xixi (simulado)!! Estou a falar-vos dos Baby Reborn, a nova geração! A paranóia é mundial, mas em especial está a deixar as mulheres brasileiras loucas! Sim, este fenómeno tomou conta do Brasil.

Well, these babies are back, but now they are handmade from vinyl/silicone, hyper-realistic babies with natural hair, looking like real newborns and costing more than an iPhone. They even pee (simulated)!! I'm talking about Baby Reborn, the new generation! The craze is global, but it's driving Brazilian women especially crazy! Yes, this phenomenon has taken over Brazil.

Neste país, as influenciadoras - e não só - chegam a fazer festas de chá do bebé com estes bonecos. Desfilam pelos centros comerciais com carrinhos de bebé como se estivessem a passear um recém nascido real. Pasme-se, há até quem utilize estes bebés para lidar com perdas gestacionais. O fenómeno viralizou... e a polémica instalou-se! A paranóia é tão grande que utilizam estes bebés para ter prioridade em filas e a conseguirem vagas em estacionamento! Mas há mais, até os levam ao pediatra! E, mais, simulam o parto destes bebés reborn!!??!!
 

In this country, influencers – and others – even throw babyshower parties with these dolls. They parade around shopping centres with prams as if they were walking a real newborn. Amazingly, there are even those who use these babies to deal with pregnancy loss. The phenomenon went viral... and controversy ensued! The paranoia is so great that they use these babies to get priority in queues and parking spaces! But there's more, they even take them to the paediatrician! And what's more, they simulate the birth of these reborn babies!!??!!



Tudo isto levou a que o próprio governo tivesse que intervir. Algumas políticas visam multar quem exagera na brincadeira. Outros defendem este negócio, que já movimenta milhões de reais em vendas só no último ano.

All this led to the government itself having to intervene. Some policies aim to fine those who take the joke too far. Others defend this business, which has already generated millions of reais in sales in the last year.


Vestido/Dress: Sfera

Para terminar, estes bebés hiper realistas, dizem-nos que o afecto se pode manifestar de várias formas, eu própria, acho que este comportamento exagerado revela muitas carências emocionais e de afecto. Uma coisa é certa, o Brasil nunca mais foi o mesmo depois desta febre dos Baby Reborn! Talvez os Baby Reborn sejam isso mesmo: uma forma actual de viver a velha infância!

Finally, these hyper-realistic babies tell us that affection can manifest itself in many ways. Personally, I think that this exaggerated behaviour reveals many emotional and affectionate needs. One thing is certain: Brazil has never been the same since the Baby Reborn craze! Perhaps Baby Reborn dolls are just that: a modern way of reliving old childhood!
