Barbie’s figure has had a major impact on women and young girls all over the world. Most women who have low self-esteem often use Barbie as another example to bring their confidence down. While some feel that Barbie is a major accomplishment and that Americans should be proud it started where they lived, many also feel that their Barbies are cruel examples of what society feels girls should look like.
The media usually tries to find models that are thin and have no flaw that the naked eye can see for their magazines. This usually results to the models having issues with the paparazzi if they step out with something as small as smeared eyeliner or a pimple on their forehead. This shows more results of how society is changing, and many people are holding Barbie in fault or this.
Even though people seem to blame Barbie a lot for their imperfections, many do believe that Barbie is a good role model as well, since she isn’t considered stuck up in any of her movies or books, doesn’t brag about herself, and isn’t even real. However, people still can’t seem to look past her long blonde hair, blue eyes, skinny waist, and big breasts.

Some find it absurd that others compare themselves to a lifeless plastic figurine. They feel that having a figure like Barbie’s won’t make a person happy but would regret their decisions. However, not everyone regrets their decisions. Some try so hard to be like her that they get plastic surgeries to make them feel perfect. A certain woman has even been labeled “Human Barbie” because of her extreme proportions and excessive plastic surgeries. 21 year old Valeria Lukynova just had to be the perfect Russian model (left), so she transformed herself by getting plastic surgery all over; breasts, face, thighs, stomach, and even eyes. She tries to look like Barbie, and is also famous for a makeup tutorial she created on youtube, changing her face even more to morph it into perfection.
