If Barbie was an actual
woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust,
an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe. •
Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her
weight at 110 lbs. • At 5’9”
tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and
fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not
menstruate. • If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have
to walk on all fours due to her proportions. • Slumber Party
Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale
permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to
Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply
“Don’t eat.” What the f.uck have we done?
Barbie became the "poster girl" for what girls
"should" look like. Why would you want to look
like that, if you put it to human proportions? Don't
do this to
yourself.
