Life-Size Barbie
College student Galia Slayen, did something that could change the face of Barbie forever. She made a life-size version of the popular doll. The Barbie had an 18-inch waist and a 39-inch bust, which honestly, looks disgusting. The life-size version looks like a grotesque joke. Slayen went on the popular HLN show, Dr. Drew to show her creation. Slayen says she made the life-size Barbie to show the unrealistic standards that little girls are given from an early age by playing with Barbie dolls. She believes that those unrealistic standards are the reason so many girls are suffering from eating disorders and body issues. She wants everyone to see this model so they can see the kind of standards and pressure we are putting on girls and hopefully we will challenge these standards and push for healthier body standards.
