has anyone actually looked at a barbie recently? it doesn't have the waif-like look that's in right now. it's huge curves with a tiny waist. the big-boob look is really out. most celebs are a c-cup or under. and last time i checked, the blondes were still dying their hair brown.

stereotyping doesn't work and all you're doing is stereotyping hollywood. yeah, it's far from being ideal, but there is a little bit more diversity lately.

and i love those dove commercials too.

In my opinion there are two types of "Barbie girl" looks.

1. If you just naturally look that way. Those women are just gorgeous.

2. If you fake bake tan all the time, are a bottle blonde, and constantly wear a mask of makeup and are all high matinence...you're just a pathetic wannabe and it looks tacky.

being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life

Most of us here know that there are different standards of beauty, but the reason behind the post is that the media only portrays that one single type of beauty, and if you're not it, you're nothing to them. Its not whether other beauty exists or not, because it does, its the lack of society to flaunt the other types of beauty.

I hate it as well! It is sick how you're considered as an "outsider" if you don't fit in with all the barbie girls.

It is true that there are millions of permutations of what people think is beautiful - the media does dominate everyone's perceptions, whether or not they realize it. I've been working on undoing this conditioning for the last 20 years. Anyway, let's just remember that all this image stuff is about money, sales, and has nothing to do with, say - sex.

Yeah the barbie look is hot. I kind of "standard" sort of hot.

If you want to see more beautiful black women, I believe there is an american Black Beauty Pageant you can attend. Leave blondes alone racists.

society has come to a point where beauty is diverse. The barbie look was so upheld but now we see Angelina jolie worshipped. She is niether stick skiny, blonde or ditsy. Same with Beyonce and Jessica Alba.

Just be yourself. If that isn't good enough for some people then that is their fault.

That's all I've got on the matter...
