Barbie. We've all seen her in the stores. We've probably all played with her, unless of course you were too busy battling dragons clothed in fake armor, and yes, I did do that when I was a kid. And, we've definitely seen others playing with her.
This is true. There was a time when I was obsessed. I bought every barbie at the school fair. Altogether I had 15. But luckily, there was also a time I battled dragons in fake armour.
I've seen several small girls say that they would love to look like her, but really, the way Barbie looks, is really just impossible. Her neck is twice as long as average necks, but half as skinny. And in reality, her neck wouldn't be able to support her head.
I have since noticed all of this and its kind of scary how young girls want to be like her. She is very stereotypical and although barbie is now doing more adventurous things everything is still in pink plastic. On the subject of the plastic used,this incredibly bad for the environment.
If Barbie was a real life woman, she would be crawling on fours, as her feet are too small to support the rest of her body, being only a size three. Her arms are much smaller than her legs, and are very thin. The circumference around her wrists are very small, too small to pick anything heavy up.
I would feel really sorry if someone did turn out like barbie. I just did some research and some people are born like that. Making it look cool to have a birth defect of be anorexic is just wrong.
The hip/waist/bust ratio in Barbie is ridiculous. Barbie's waist is 16 inches in circumference, a little over half the size of her hips, and less then half the size of an average woman's waist. The size of Barbie's waist would only be able to fit half a liver, and a few inches of intestines. Barbie's hips are smaller, than the average woman's, as well as her bust.
I completely agree with you Jollygirl.
Being anorexic is horrible Mattel and you could be convincing people to become it. Barbie also wears too much makeup for a toy for younger girls.
