oh barbie

so i was looking on Vogue and found this article about Anorexia and eating disorders and there was this thing about Barbie being an influence. i just thought it was really interesting.

there was this picture ^ and i have both the 90's Barbies and the 00's Barbies, and i didn't even realize the difference! it's kind of weird. i mean the first one just looks like a doll, but the second one... is like a body image people would look at. i can now see why some people blame part of their eating disorders on Barbie.

now this ^ is an article i found and it's really clever! this girl had an eating disorder and made this Barbie to look at, to know that Barbie is just a doll, and in no way can anyone really look like her. this is really what Barbie would look like if she was real! check out this video to know more about this girl and her idea! i have nothing against Barbie! i played with her ALL THE TIME with my friend Alexandra before. i just thought this really really interesting and neat to think about.

hope you all have a great weekend!! :)
