Curvy Barbie & Friends!

Mattel is changing Barbie again, and this time she's got curves (or Petit, or Tall, etc)

Growing up, I remember hearing about how detrimental Barbie was to little girls. I grew up in the era of the incredibly-disproportionate torpedo-boob Barbie. I never looked at my doll and thought, "This is what a woman is supposed to look like" but that may have been because she was tall, white, and blonde. I never expected to grow up to be that tall, or white, or blonde. But regardless, I do imagine that many young girls did feel they would never achieve this goal and I am glad to see that Barbie has decided to change with the times.
