"Come on Barbie Let's Go Party"

Though Aqua had the scandalous modern Barbie's antics down, recently Huffington Post showed us what the average American woman would look like as a Barbie as compared to the stilt with hair.

As we know children grow up playing with dolls, I will not just target little girls on this. Girls play with Barbie (honestly I loved brushing their hair, but it got really knotty and I found that frustrating) and she is thin, wears make-up, tiny heels (MAJOR chocking hazard by the way), and aprons and various other "girly" or "female" oriented career clothing (barf). Following this boys also deem girls to be interested in these things and pink and other such atrocities. Not saying that boys are better off, having loud commercials that promote the stereotype that boys need colorful and violent action toys.

-Side note: I played with Barbie, Ninja turtles, Lion King, and Power Rangers, and yes they all shared a seat in Barbie's pink Corvette.

There have been various studies conducted on this and how it effects behavior, but I think the visual of the work that Nickolay Lamm did by creating a true all-American Barbie is fascinating.

As I look at this comparison I think that normal sized Barbie (the one who actually shares proportions similar to mine) is more attractive and something that I think young girls would like to play with. You know this doll will spark a new study. Barbie's body is not ideal. She would have many medical issues. From a possible necessary breast reduction, to aiding her in walking with her peculiar arch in her feet.

Hope they start selling this model on the shelves!
