Not even barbie's perfect





 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.”

I found this picture on tumblr and found it very meaningful. Barbie is known for being beautiful and perfect but is she really?, This picture shows the proportions of barbie if she were a human.. personally that is anything but perfect. People who inspire to look like barbie need a new inspiration. maybe try looking in the mirror and there you'll find the inspirations
