The link goes to the full article. But the picture kindof speaks for itself, The girls in the picture is Galia Slayen, she created a doll made to the proportions of what a Barbie doll would look like if she was a full size person. It was made as part of the first National Eating Disorder Week. I think its mad!
Especially how by the age of 3 most girls own a Barbie. It had been said about Barbie dolls a million times before that they are extremely un realistic and show an unrepresentative female figure to young children. I dont blame Barbie doll for my anorexia, but i did own some like many young girls and on an unconscious level they may have contributed to insecurities about my figure.
I think is was a great idea to make the doll and it conveys a message perfectly in a visual way which anyone could understand. The full article is very interesting so i recommend reading it!
