Normal Barbie Doll, a new positive role model |
Artist Nickolay Lamm created a "normal" Barbie using the CDC's measurements for an average 19-year-old American woman, then photographed a standard Barbie doll next to his model to show the difference. For too long young girls has had as a role model Barbie Dolls and researches shows that Barbie may lead to heightened body dissatisfaction, unhealthy eating behaviour, and a desire to eat less in order to achieve a slim body. Nickolay Lamm says “I created normal Barbie because I wanted to show that average is beautiful, if average-looking Barbie looks this good and if there's even a chance of Barbie negatively influencing young girls, why not make one?"
I just love this guy!
And i'm a little bit confused with the association of Barbie and McDonald.. What message does he want to promote,"Be super skinny eating at McDonald!?"
He should realise the influence that he has on young girls and think twice before "creating" these awful collections! I'm so disappointed! :(
Barbie + McDonald = Bulimia |
