Re: Barbie

She isn't supposed to be fat. She is curvy. There's a lot of stuff in the media that tends to attack or, using photoshop, gets rid of those curves even on women who AREN'T fat. The ideal isn't what that Barbie even looks like. It's the original Barbie or the new Tall!Barbie.

So, seeing a curvier Barbie is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. And I like that there's a curvier dark headed, dark eyed one that's coming out. She may not look like me, exactly, but she's close enough that I kind of want the doll. I just wish they were more articulated.

Oh. Well, she doesn't even look "curvy" to me then. She looks like a normal woman.

But then, Barbie never looked like a normal woman at all, so.

That's the thing, for all the outrage Barbie was never "normal" skinny, when someone did the math she had humanly impossible proportions.

Now I don't mind if dolls aren't exactly real, but the new "curvy" barbie does not look like she's obese and she still looks like she could belong in the Barbie line so I don't know why people are up in arms over her at all. She only even looks big if you compare her to the other super skinny dolls.

Well, shame on me for assuming that Mattel was going to actually represent any real range of figures beyond normal weight and underweight then, I guess.

That's the point though. And she's stylized at that. But they're trying to make more body type options than just the standard doll so we can start normalizing the fact that, hey, real people have different body types, too. Let's stop making fun of them for it.
