Barbie makes her revolution

Not too soon ! The new Barbie presented on Thursday January 28, 2016 by Mattel is small and round, large and fine ... In short, Barbie finally has hips, belly and buttocks well rounded. And it is not to displease us. Because even though Barbie is an institution, it has so far conveyed a female stereotype far from the reality of women. In France the average weight of French women is 63 kilos. Whatever their size, it does not make all of them top-models in the image of Barbie. The American toy manufacturer Mattel also announced that the marketing of the Barbie 2016 would take place in France starting in March. It is already available since Thursday on the American E-Shop.

Barbie becomes small and round

Barbie will no longer only this pretty blond doll with impossible measurements. Richard Dickson, CEO of Mattel, proposed 7 different types of skin colors (from Caucasian to African type), 22 eye colors, 24 types of hair and 3 new models, so:
- The Barbie "curvy". This Barbie has thighs (real), buttocks and belly.
- The Barbie "tall". It is, as the name suggests, tall and fine (a giant strand).
- The Barbie "small": is small and with measurements in accordance with its size.

A change for the blonde Barbie

Our children will finally be able to identify with their dolls thanks to the changes that Mattel is making. For 57 years, the Mattel Empire has been making young girls dream with their dolls and today decides a radical change: to show the girls the reality of a female body. "We believe it is our responsibility to offer little girls and their parents a wider vision of beauty," said Evelyn Mazzocco, vice president of the brand. And just for that, we say bravo.
