Barbie is finally evolving. Are you?

Michelle May

Social media is buzzing about the evolution of Barbie®. According to a press release from Mattel, “Barbie is announcing the expansion of its Fashionistas® line with the addition of three new body types – tall, curvy and petite – and a variety of skin tones, hair styles and outfits.”

I’m sure there will be controversy on both sides; this change is long overdue and underwhelming, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.

I don’t hold Barbie exclusively responsible, but every day, I hear from women who have spent years hating their bodies and punishing themselves with restrictive eating, unsustainable exercise regimes, and worst of all, not living their lives fully because they don’t measure up to an unrealistic standard of beauty.

It is actually painful for me to think about the time, energy, money, and lives wasted. So my question for you is:

If the iconic Barbie can finally let go of unrealistic standards, can you?
