Ever since Barbie was first created, people have become infatuated with the image she has created. The image of the "perfect woman," created by Barbie, has mislead many young girls. Like the author of the article explains, young girls worldwide have become obsessed with them but why is this?
Girls have become more envious of Barbie's perfect image however the image that she's created is in reality, quite decieving. I think the real attraction to these dolls is the perfection that they model; every young girl wants to be beautiful, successful, ect. Barbie has become the model for all of this and more. She's labeled as the perfect woman but in reality, if Barbie was a human, she wouldn't be able to walk because her feet aren't proportionate to the rest of her body.
The audience that Barbie is targeted at is young girls. Because of this, Barbie has created this unattainable persona for children all over the world. Barbie is seen as the perfect woman that everyone loves. If you were a young girl, why wouldn't you want to be Barbie?

Yeah thats what I was thinking about too. I don't understand how they make Barbie and target the audience of young girls, when they make her look kinda teenageish. I dont get how they give her these cute clothes that little girls are gonna wanna wear but their parents wont let them because it is too revealing. I used to ask myself the same question about Barbie, I used to wanna be her when I was little because she had everything, but now that I think about it, I really am glad that Im me (:
