If
Barbie was an actual woman,
she would be 5’9” tall, have a
39” bust, an 18”
waist, 33” hips and a size
3 shoe. Barbie calls this a
“full figure” and likes her weight
at 110 lbs. At
5’9” tall and weighing 110
lbs, Barbie would have a
BMI of 16.24 and fit the
weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would
not menstruate. If Barbie was
a real woman, she’d have to walk on all
fours due to her proportions. Slumber Party
Barbie was introduced in 1965 and
came with a bathroom scale permanently
set at 110 lbs with a book
entitled “How to Lose Weight” with
directions inside stating simply “Don’t
eat.”
