If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”
i’m always reblogging this.
fucking barbie ..
What the fuck?!
Wtf?!
Every time I see this post, it bothers me, and not just because of the completely terrifying facts listed above.
Look at this picture. She looks like a normal woman. Look again: when you actually look, you can tell she’s been touched up in photoshop. Her skin tone, not taking into account highlights and shadows, is completely even. She has absolutely no body hair. These are things we’ve just become so accustomed to that we don’t even notice them in a thing about how unattainable “perfection” is. This woman, who is in a campaign about how ridiculous something like that is, has been changed to make her a kind of perfect that I doubt anybody actually is.
THANK YOU!
I fucking hate when campains do this!
They bitch about the unattainable beauty yet photoshop the fuck out of the model!
