Barbie is every little girls' favorite toy when they are young. She has so many friends and a wonderful boyfriend, who is so very handsome, named Ken. Wouldn't this be the person you want to be like when your older. Barbie set standards for some young girls. She represented beauty, perfection, and the ideal look for young girls around the world. Her beautiful flowing blonde hair, big bust, tiny waist, and just all around perfect figure. All of this is definately not what makes a person ideal. I mean, sure, who doesn't want "the looks?" But by being an all around great person who is fun and has a wonderful personality, shouldn't that be the kind of person we want to be like? If Barbie was real, it is said she would be about 6 feet tall with a 39" bust, 18" waist, and 33" hips. This is thought to be a "full figure" and also to weigh about 110 lbs. Due to her proportions, barbie would have to walk on all fours. This is honestly a scary thought. I think the Barbie image might cause some girls to have eating disorders and have body image issues. All I know is that from seeing this, Barbie is something I hope no girl would want to be like.
