What we see is deceiving.

If Barbie were a real woman she would be 6ft tall, weight 101 lbs. and be a size 4 dress size. The average store mannequin is also 6 ft tall and a size 6. Fashion models are 5'9" to 5'11", weight 105 to 115 lbs, and wear a size 2-4.

The average woman is 5'4", weights 145 lbs, and wears a size 14.

Less than 1% of the US population fits the media portrayed image of beauty. This is what we face daily in the media.
