Lammily The 'Normal Barbie'

Meet Lammily the 'Normal Barbie'. This chick has been popping up everywhere today and for some reason she bothers me. The designer (a guy might I add) is said to be frustrated with Barbie's frighteningly disproportionate body and therefore has created a 'realistic' doll. With this new doll, you can buy an add on pack which includes acne, cellulite, tattoos, grass stains and stretch marks.

I can't speak for anyone else, but when I used to play with my Barbies, I'd say I was about five or six, and I wouldn't have even been aware of what these things are and why should I at such a young age?

Dolls are supposed to be fun. I never saw Barbie as a role model, she was just a toy I'd play with and I'm sure my friends and sisters were the same. My Barbies used to date Ghost Busters so what, should I now be looking for a man who hunts down ghosts because that's what Barbie did?

I think some people need to have a think before bashing Barbie and maybe take a look at social media, reality shows, movies, music videos and magazines.

Overall, I just don't think we can blame a doll for any issues we might have with our bodies and the choices we make in life. It comes down to you as a person and the people that come and go along your journey.
