• 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 (49 kg)
• 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”
Just putting that out there
