Barbie

I saw this post on Facebook earlier and thought I'd share it with you... E x

 

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. Her head would be the same circumference as her waist, meaning she’d have room for only half a liver and a few inches of intestines. The result: chronic diarrhoea and death. Also, she would not be able to menstruate. If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions, her feet are so disproportionately small, her chest would pull her forward onto her toes.
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. Because Barbie’s neck is twice as long as the average human’s, it would be impossible for her to hold up her head.

And yet this is the 'person' almost every teenage girl longs to look like.
