 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.

• 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. She likely would not menstruate.

• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.

 • Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”

Oh, god damn it! First of all, it’s not really fair that the model’s a fat chick. So, all “real women” are fat? Come on. Second, BMI (Body mass index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight and really doesn’t mean shit. It’s usually just a ball park measurement, but even on a standard BMI chart 16.24 is barley under normal. A woman with those measurements would be considered a little underweight based on BMI. That in no way means she would be unhealthy. BMI has absolutely nothing to do with anorexia. BMI’s a measurement, anorexia is a eating disorder, you’re an idiot. Looking at the model in the picture she would have a BMI of around 30 which would fall under obesity. She doesn’t really look unhealthy, does she? Well she sure as shit doesn’t look fit either. So, you sunk your own battle ship with that argument. Thirdly: I can only imagine that the reason you assume that a woman with those measurements would “walk around on all fours” is because she wears a size 3 shoe? I admit a 5 foot 9 inch woman with size 3 feet would be a bit clumsy and funny looking. Good thing it’s not a woman, IT’S A FUCKING DOLL! Don’t get me wrong, if you hate yourself so much, if you’re so insecure, weak, delusional and clueless about your body and how it works that you feel the need to starve or purge or whatever to feel better or fit in, it’s terribly sad. You are obviously in need of psychological help. Please seek that help, cause you ARE very troubled, but I highly doubt a doll made you that way. Most of you dumb bitches posting this bullshit are just fat and looking for excuses, stop picking on a doll and go jogging.
