When I was a little girl, I loved playing with Barbies. I had about four or five Barbies that I played with everyday. Whenever we went to the toy store, I would head to the Barbie section to look for new clothes for my Barbies. No, I wasn't a Barbie fanatic, but I sure did like to dress up the dolls!
Not once did I think that Barbie's body was the "ideal" size and that I should aspire to look like her. I guess to some degree perhaps I subconsciously thought that Barbie had the "perfect" body. However, I didn't become obsessed with wanting to be skinny or to have this curvy, busty body. Perhaps I'm the exception.
