Since I can remember myself playing with Barbie dolls (I have to admit they were my favorite and still are) their body shape looks almost the same with no major differences over the years.
Without even looking at a doll all girls are able to describe how she looks : her hair is always long enough and stunningly blond, she has beautiful make up in her face and blue eyes, she is extremely thin at a point were her waist is pointed on the inside of her body figure and she has long thin legs.
Let's take a look at a picture:
The dolls measurements seem to be perfect to us. But can they happen in real life? Could we ever find a woman that has these measurements without the help of plastic surgery?
The answer is no. That is not possible.
Although everyone is aware of that there are so many girls around the world that try really hard to look like Barbie. The go on extreme diets in order to obtain her waist and thin legs, they color their hair and wear extensions and the deform themselves in order to look alike with their favorite doll.
The main question to ask is: IS THAT HEALTHY?
Girls going on extreme diets and trying to obtain that supernatural body that is not possible, no that is not at all healthy. Despite that girls still get obsessed with that image and even though they are well aware that one could not achieve that body they try so hard putting their body under this incredible stress and extreme diets as well as exhausting working out, ending up sick and in the borders of anorexia.
Therefore, a Barbie doll that we so willingly play with or give as presents to people we love aka our children are not that much of a healthy image to follow.
There have been cases that show people's efforts to look like their favorite doll.
Do you want to learn more about it?
Stay tuned!
