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 think this is a great idea, real beauty always wins.

NO I DONT

Who the hell looks up to a doll? Barbie isn't supposed to be realistic!

@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.

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.

Nice!

Why did the world not think of this earlier?? But better late than never !! 👍😍🙌

*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 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 ...
