Is Barbie Too Perfect?

        Some females are very distraught about Barbie's plastic perfection.  They all ponder the same questions: Is Barbie to thin? Is she too full-figured?  In response to these, many people say that playing with a doll like Barbie can be a disadvantage to life's values.  As we all know, nobody is perfect, but what about Barbie?   A woman's body image is an issue that women have been struggling with for many centuries and we all wonder what it really means to be perfect.

The goal is to create a world where women feel safe and powerful in our bodies--and everywhere we go. To expand the beauty standard to include more sizes, colors and flavors. And ultimately, to create a world where beauty is more about who a person is than what she looks like.
