Hello Barbie Lezz go Partay!
I heard this girl talking on TV about how she wanted to create a life-size Barbie doll with to-scale measurements so that people could learn about eating disorders that spawn from little girls growing up with grossly unrealistic physical standards or something or another. I didn't really pay attention because once they showed images of the life-size Barbie I was struck by her beauty. Look at those long, spidery legs....her lush larger-than-her-own-head breastestesses. I sweetly imagine her stumpy fingerless hands running through my hair. Me wrapping my hand around her waist, all the way around. I'd whisper sweet nothings into her tiny ears.
I was reading through the "Get Real Barbie Campaign's" fact sheet and saw this little tidbit of information: "If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions." Now that really gets my pendulum swinging, a woman who cuts to the quick.
But perhaps the sexiest thing about Get Real Barbie is her discipline as noted in the Slumber Party Barbie of 1965's package which included a toy miniature bathroom scale that permanently dialed in on 110 pounds. It came with a book titled "How To Lose Weight." The directions inside? Simple: "Don't Eat." BRILLIANT! Preemptive weight loss plan, W-style.
So let's help make this a reality, because unless I'm missing the point I think this girl wants to bring her to life. And I call first dibs. baby i'm gonna melt your plastic...
