I feel like this has been a long time coming so I was so pleased to see that Barbie isn’t now just a size six with feet so small and breasts so big that realistically that walk from her Jeep to the Dream House was never going to happen. Barbie now comes in a whole host of shapes & sizes with a decent range of ethnicities to match, there are in fact four different body types, seven different skin tones, twenty two different eye colours & twenty four different hairstyles. Oh and ‘normal feet’ so Barbie isn’t sentenced to trotting round town on her tippy toes in heels that would make a seasoned runway model weep. Hopefully this might go someway towards dispelling this myth that girls need to perfect with a completely unobtainable view of what perfect is such as the Real Life Barbie Valeria Lukyanova above. I love this video of children reviewing the new Barbies because ultimately their opinion is the one that counts.
