Barbs


From the Tosh.0 blog:

"Hamilton College student Galia Slayen created a life-sized Barbie with proportions based on the doll's measurements.

Galia built the giant-boobed beast for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week in an effort to start a conversation about unrealistic body images.

Life-sized Barbie stands 6' tall with a 39" bust, 18" waist and 33" hips.

Unrealistic? Sure. Sexy? Definitely.

You think life-sized Barbie is going to convince girls that Barbie's body doesn't rock? Please. Now you just have a bunch of 8 year-olds even more confused.

"Mommy, why isn't my head smaller than my boob?""
