As much as that makes sense, the reality is, the figure of this mini lady affects kids. A lot. Seeing the toy sets an image of what 'perfection' is. What if Barbie suddenly came with massive feet? Over a long period of time, people would probably start getting foot surgeries to enlarge them.
I can go on for ages about how dangerous Barbie is, but let's move on.
Let's just evaluate her body:
- Too-tall (for her body, she wouldn't be able to live, let alone walk!)
- Tiny feet
- Flat belly
- Massive tigh gap (although this is needed so her legs can be mobile and kids can play with her)
- Extremely skinny
- Yet has big boobs, curvy hips and her butt isn't flat
- Don't even get me started on her face yo
ANYWAY, getting depressed over this won't help. Creating a realistic design might!
Thanks to amazing Nickolay Lamm who created, using photoshop and 3D printers, a realistic, healthy-looking Barbie. She is a glorious copy of the average 19-year-old. They even changed her face and everything! Next to the alien-skinny Barbie, the healthy doll looks big, but in reality, she would be normal size!
And Demi has been amazing supporting this idea (Although she may be a little confused, this Barbie is not the new official, it's still just an idea that will hopefully become reality soon).

This is not to say that skinny girls aren't beautiful too - everyone has the right to feel beautiful. But the original Barbie doll just isn't realistic, even for the skinniest girl walking this planet.
