Can we let go of our Barbie insecurities?


What is it about Barbie that makes women so insecure? Is it her blonde hair, blue eyes, and perfect smile? Is it that everything on Barbie is perfectly lifted? Is it Barbie's wardrobe and dream house, dream car, and dream man? Is it the fact that Barbie has held every job and achieved every honor known to man? What is it about Barbie that makes us so insecure?


I've had plenty of Barbies and Barbie based products in my lifetime and not once did I feel insecure. I find it ridiculous that people envy and emulate  this piece of plastic. Barbie is a piece of plastic. She was created in someone's imagination. She doesn't have those proportions or those jobs, Barbie is an 11.5 inch piece of plastic. Why do women feel insecure next to Barbie? Barbie is a toy. SHE'S A TOY. Why are people imagining is Barbie was real? Barbie is a toy. I don't get it. 


When Barbie was created, she was created as a toy for a child, not a prototype for all women. Barbie is a piece of plastic. Get over your insecurities and whatever you perceive she represents.
