I’m simply… I’m simply gon’ go away this proper right here.
From BlissTree:
O Journal simply hit shops with its first ever nude picture shoot enclosed, depicting Katie Halchishick, a plus-sized mannequin and founding father of the positioning “Wholesome Is The New Skinny,” bare and coated in dotted strains that recommend what a surgeon may need to “lower away” to offer her the identical proportions because the doll she’s holding. The picture is a hanging depiction of the warped magnificence requirements that ladies maintain ourselves up towards; if a stunning mannequin is that this removed from what our cultural icons dictate as very best, what hope do the remainder of us have?
Now, we’ve mentioned Barbie in all her glory right here earlier than, and I’m not all for rehashing the “does Barbie even matter to us?” argument, however I’ve bought to marvel. Whereas there have been a number of ladies who admitted to eager to appear to be Barbie rising up as a child, there have been many extra who mentioned Barbie by no means affected them in any manner. That being mentioned, you could possibly simply swap out “Barbie” and swap in another celeb picture or reproduction (picture, wax determine, doll, and many others) and should ask your self the identical query. We might simply swap out “Barbie doll” and swap in “Beyonce doll.” Possibly that’d assist?
Or how a few Rihanna doll?

I do know that many people won’t’ve felt the identical connection to our dolls as youngsters, however dolls are way more numerous these days and, fairly frankly, I’ve to marvel if we’re making the message clear for our ladies. I imply, I needed to make it clear to my Mini-me that “No, canines don’t discuss,” and “No, though the opposite 4 are actual animals, you’ll by no means see a Uniqua in actual life,” however do I make it clear that “Your neck and your waist ought to by no means be virtually equivalent in width?” It’s not the form of doll that issues, it’s the debunking of the unrealistic imagery – be it photoshop or in any other case.
Simply one thing to consider. I’m (clearly) an advocate for altering our our bodies, however I’m not down with unrealistic targets. Ideas?
