I was just thinking that I'm short, maybe I should start demanding they make short Barbie dolls! :lol: I'm offended!!!
 
Eww! :lol: I guess fat girls need lovin' too!
I didn't say "fat". There is a limit.


Skinny to the bone ain't hot, just saying.
Testify, sister. Testify.


Let's face it, if you have giant knockers you can be either fat or thin. Doesn't really matter to a lot of people. :lol:
Sad, but true.


Honestly, I think they can and should make Barbie Dolls in whatever sizes, skin tones, genders, etc.... will sell the best. They're a toy company, nothing more.

I will however tell you, that the chances of any daughter of mine ever having a Barbie Doll of any size is very small. There are much more appropriate toys for girls and young women to be playing with... toy kitchens, vacuume cleaners. irons, dress-up clothes, life-like baby dolls, and so on.
I did both... :roll: and :lamo

All pretty null and void really. You won't have children.

Well this is funny because you contradict yourself. You say skinny is not attractive yet if there are big knockers they are. So IOW, you only care about breast size. :mrgreen: That is NO less shallow than making skinny Barbies.
 
By the way, I'm thin and I'm offended by some of your remarks! :mrgreen:
 
Same. Fun times..

Legos and SW. That's pretty much all i played with as a kid. My older sister was the Barbie doll Princess. Rarely was there fights in our house over not sharing toys nicely. She thought mine were dumb and i wasn't overly keen on hers :lol:.

I have a former roommate who was like that. She was the "horse" girl (and total tomboy) and her younger sister was the "Barbie" girl......

She's now (barely) supporting her husband of two decades who sits on his ass all day and does nothing while they live with her parents. Her sister was part of the marketing team for a major women's clothing retailer and is now getting married to a very well-off gentleman and becoming a housewife. Seems to me that one of them made out much better than the other.

That depends on my fiance. She really does want to have one. She hasn't yet been able to provide me with a significant enough reason to change my mind on the issue, but you never know.

I don't believe it.

Who cares? The thread is not about you.

I won't speak for radcen, but I do have to agree that truly thin women are not attractive. These single digit sized women (especially the lower half of that range) do not look good at all. They don't look healthy or attractive. Curves.... hips, ass, and chest are what most guys really tend to go for. That's not to say that truly overweight women are generally attractive either; but I also don't believe the ridiculous standard that the medical profession provides for "obesity" either. A woman should have some meat on her bones. It would be nice if it was toned meat, but there needs to be something there. Otherwise I feel like I'm going to snap her in half the first time I go to hug her, nevermind do anything else with her.
 
Yes, but her's is HUGE! It was funny because I hadn't seen her in years, and then I just happened to run into her. She used to be really thin, and when I saw her again all could think was "did you eat my friend Tina?" :mrgreen:

That's mean! :lol:

No, you misconstrued my remarks. You said "... if you have giant knockers you can be either fat or thin. Doesn't really matter to a lot of people.", and I agreed with that. A LOT OF PEOPLE. Not me. A B-cup is great!


By the way, I'm thin and I'm offended by some of your remarks! :mrgreen:
Gotta a big butt? ;)
 
I probably wouldn't buy it simply because I have a ton of clothes that fit not only my daughter's barbies but alot of her other dolls and wouldn't fit the plus sized one. I would appreciate a little more normal doll but really it's just a toy.

I think I'm pretty much proportionate, nothing is very large on my body. :lol: I'm only 5 foot 1 inch tall, so I'm naturally just a small and petite person.
 
From what I gather, Barbie's proportions to a human would equate to 6' 0", weigh 100 lbs., and they say she wears a size 4. Her measurements would be 39"/21"/33". Ideal weight for a 6 ft. woman is 160 lbs. And in reality no woman with a 39" bust can fit into a size 4 top unless it has some serious stretchiness to it. I'm in agreement with those who mentioned having a healthy/realistic looking Barbie because it would be a positive thing for young girls. The plus size shown in the picture goes to the other extreme in my opinion which won't even buy you a cup of coffee.
 
She used to be able to fit into my jeans, so you can imagine my shock. ;)

When I was in college, I made the mistake of looking up my first girlfriend on FB. We hadn't seen each other for about four years, so we decided to go to lunch to catch up.

She showed up looking like some kind of obese pink and purple goth witch roughly three times the size of the girl I had known when I was 18.

The first thing she said to me was "wow, you've gained weight." I very nearly shot back, "yeah, you too!" :lamo

Lol! Wow! Seriously, this girl was my best friend in high school, and I almost didn't recognize her.

Amen to that. More than a handful is just a waste, IMO.

The bottom half is where all the fun's to be had. :mrgreen:

Much of the toys you mentioned are actually things my daughter does with her barbies - she dresses them up, has them clean and re-arrange their house, cooks, take care of their babies, and so on.
