You can make barbie bigger and make skinnier girls pissed. You can make her more muscular and make everyone pissed. You can make her stay skinny and bigger girls are pissed. Someone's always going to be made. For instance, I can't relate to new barbie. I'm tall and thin. It's my body type, I'm an ectomorph and I have a hard time gaining muscle or fat. You can't please everyone. Plus, if our country is one of the fattest countries in the world, why are we trying to promote being unhealthy? I swear, it's like it's between being a 90 lb. twig or being large and in charge or being "average". I don't know, it's just a doll. Can we not? It's so not important. How about you make the famous models and people on cosmo not all skinny, light haired, air-headed girls who all look practically the same in the face? Focus on real people who act as real role models. Not hunks of plastic. SHIIIIITTTT.
How is the smaller Barbie promoting people being unhealthy?? :noway:0 -
ITT: This is my lived experience and if yours doesn't match mine, yours is stupid and mine is right.

And is the average 19-year-old really 5'4" and 150 pounds? That seems on the large side of healthy for that age and height.
Yup. And so what if it's "on the high side of healthy?" Must everyone be right in the middle?" Or are you really saying that thinner is always better even if one is healthy?0 -
Barbie Got Back!
Sir Mix-A-Lot would bang. :laugh:0 -

I think five-year-olds should be exposed to role models that have body types that are actually possible. Barbie's original body just isn't. And I'm not worried about her self-esteem at five, but when she is older and trying to look like the role models she's internalized. I am concerned by the number of tweens and teens who believe they need plastic surgery just to look acceptable, for instance.0 -
I wanna see a Fat Amy doll.0

i will be demanding that all vibrators and other sex toys be made much smaller and will be useless after 15 minutes in the name of all things have to be true to life
Hilarious!
(But seriously, don't you dare mess with my grown-up toys! )0 -

Well, for the teen BMI, its the high side of healthy. But as soon as that 19 yr old turns 20 it's actually considered overweight. (BMI would be 25.7)0 -

But that isn't what you said. You said it seemed like the "large" side of healthy. And it is. Why "should" a young woman not be this weight you just said was healthy? If she's a healthy weight, why would it matter that her weight is "high?"0 -

Again. SO WHAT?0 -

Yes - kids get these messages loud and clear....it's usually a mistake to underestimate the ability of kids to pick up messages us "responsible" adults are laying out for them.0 -
Looks like she could birth an Eriksen baby.
I think I love you.0 -
I note the thigh gap. I want a thigh gap but I also want a hinge in my pelvis. :sad:0

LOVE the new barbie!!!0

I'm still waiting on the redesign of Charlie Brown. Ever since I witnessed his impossibly large head as a child, I've had issues with how small mine is. Years of head stretching, sobbing sessions in front of the mirror, and trips to the therapist haven't helped.
Oh, and don't get me started on the damage caused by the Incredible Hulk.
I mean, even green food coloring doesn't achieve that perfect green glow.0 -
I'm not sure how I feel... obviously the original Barbie is way too skinny, but the new Barbie seems oddly proportioned to me. I think it will just take some getting used to!
This I agree she doesn't seem proportioned. I think they could of gave her a little more height. lol0 -
That's not a new Barbie... That was a doll made as an experiment by a university for a doll representation of the average American woman.
Don't post stuff on the internet without checking it first....0 -
