These New Barbies Are Changing Beauty Standards ...

Have you seen the new line of Barbies that are being released? According to Mental Floss, they come in curvy, petite, and tall! That means Barbie is no longer a stick-thin girl with unobtainable proportions.
Now, she come in all different shapes and sizes. This new set of dolls even has twenty-two different eye colors and seven different skin tones. It's a way to make every little girl out there feel beautiful.
The days of playing with unrealistic Barbies are over, thanks to Mattel. Hopefully, this means that the future generation will be more comfortable in their skin.

Do you think that this is a great idea?

I definitely all different cultures sizes we all come in different sizes how boring would our planet be if we're all identical you are a thumbprint of God embrace yourself ladies little girls should have variety barbies proportions the original her measurements are unattainable so yes I love it holly💗💗

Great idea. I love the diversity and the thought of having several dolls with different heights, skin and hair. More outfits to try, and helps girls to learn that one size doesn't fit all!

Bravo to Mattel

It's an amazing idea, but as a kid i never looked at a barbie and thought "why don't i have that hair" i looked at Pocahontas and Princess Jasmine and thought, fuck yeah, i have great long brown hair instead. Barbie's don't affect everyone, and tbh, I never was a girly girl anyway, it's probably the gaming that made me not give a crap,

I grew up playing with barbules. I never cared about how she looks or wanting to look like that. I think it's up to parents to teach their children to be comfortable in their own skin and accept who they are. We should not let a doll decide for us; whether or not we are good looking etc ...

It's nice that the new barbies bodies are more realistic but Barbie is supposed to be a tall, blue eyed, sexy and blonde doll.

I heard about this, and I also am in favor of it =) This is a fantastic idea, and sending out such a beautiful message. As others have stated, it would not have been a bad idea to have thought of this earlier. We live in a society where the media can really have a negative effect on people. Especially young girls that are growing up.
