These New Barbies Are Changing Beauty Standards ...

By Holly • Jan 5, 2022 • MD

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?

@Jessica, I completely agree with you. It's a nice idea, but at the same time it's a shame what our society came to. Parents should teach their kids how to love accept their bodies, as well as good nutrition. I loved playing with barbies, but I never really cared that I didn't look like her...it's a good idea though.

I think this is a great idea, although Barbie's were never my thing. I preferred Bratz dolls haha

*by the way, I would like to add that the way girls feel about themselves should start in the home. Our parents should be our biggest role models and supporters.

I think it's a good idea but I don't think many people will want to buy these dolls anymore. I don't think it's right for someone to want to look like a doll because they got to love the way God made their own bodies. I also think that people will not buy these dolls because they are sort of known for looking blonde with this amazing body. Kids shouldn't want to look like these plastic dolls and should love the way they already look!

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!

I am fine with it but agree with Taylor: Barbie isn't supposed to be realistic or taken seriously; if she was, she wouldn't be living in a pink dream house in Malibu.
