FINALLY someone else who doesn't think Barbies cause unrealistic beauty standards (and while I'm on the topic, Disney doesn't either because the small bodies and large eyes are a way for the audience to empathize with the characters by making them look more innocent and childlike)
Same here. I never understand why people said they compared themselves to Barbies as kids and Barbie made them have self esteem issues. Smh. Its a toy, ofc its unrealistic. And honestly, the new "realistic" Barbies creep me out for just that reason, they're too realistic and its almost uncanny valley.
I never wanted my body to look like Barbie. If anything I wanted all the outfits. Near the end of me playing with Barbies their new ones came out and I bought the curvey Barbie. And I was just like hey, she looks like me. It was a great day.
I used to cut the hair of American Girls hoping it will grow back 😂😂😂 because I had short hair (my Hair is super long now) and it grew back pretty quick but I waited and waited for like months and I noticed the dolls hair was exactly the same length 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭good old times
My barbies were amazon warriors that fought all of my brothers action figures. It was great! I didn't play with girls, I only had my older brother, but we made it work.
tbh i never noticed/cared that barbie had anything that i didn't have when i was younger- her "thin" shape, her blond hair or her light skin. all that mattered most to me was that she was a toy that gave me happiness and fun.
Tbh I stopped playing with Barbie dolls because looking nothing like them.. like one of the girls mentions their headbands can be used as belts; my waist looked nothing like that
I never had Barbie's really. I played with Bratz dolls and always lost their feet. I remember losing the feet to my black Bratz and putting the feet (typically heels) on my black ones and I would call the white part socks when people asked me about it (lol, I was a problematic child)
I am a Muslim girl, so when I was playing with barbies me and my sister always made fun of her unmodest (compared to our) clothes :P and all of our barbies were white and blond... we are brown and brown hair
Bruh all Barbie dolls had smiles but most kids make like dramatic things like one time I mad my barbies, get into fights, go to the hospital, have dramatic fights etc. So they should not have smiles, they should have straight faces
Silly Girls Club omg 😂😂 true, there should be other facial expressions but at the same time they’re meant for little kids and I doubt many five year olds would be making dramatic stories like you 😂😂 (no hate just saying)
Man, when I had baby dolls when I was younger, I would never want the black ones because "they didn't look like me". Even tho I'm black.... Barbies gave me a bunch of self esteem issues, mainly because I thought they meant you had to be blonde and blue eyed to be attractive.
Freddie is so gorgeous, but the yellow applique on the top of her dress was such an unevenly cut abomination. When there's more obvious detail in the original Barbie-sized dress, you know there's something wrong...
Me though 😂 One time when I was like 4-5 we were watching Tangled and at the bit when she got her hair cut off I got my own Rapunzel doll and cut the hair to her shoulders, I cried after that
I'd destroy them They were all covered in red paint I'd use plasticine to create wounds and it looked okay for someone that was 9 years old and my parents never thought anything was wrong with me but I dont even think they cared enough to notice I did that in secret ,I also cut their legs and arms and chewed on their hands because I liked chewing things I threw them away last year cuz I dont ay with them anymore And they were destroyed , I only kept the once in good condition I got when I was 12 probably when i dtopped "killing " my dolls but I just couldnt keep myself from not doing something messed up ,I probably have 5 dolls that are in good condtition arent missing a limb or anything or clothes now my half brother plays with them sometimes
I literally took such good care of my barbies. I washed their hair and put them in new clothes every day. I had a Barbie dream house and like four cars. I was so weird I know😂😂😂
Maddie Eldridge I had barbies a lot and with them I had and I literally gave them baths washed there hairs I had a totally hair Barbie and I washed there hair did there hair girl I braided my to totally hair barbies hair into dred locks braids and braided the braids into bigger braids!
Maddie Eldridge omg I used to do the same thing and funnily enough I have a little sister and she’s like at that age where u would play with barbies and its so weird cause I have now taught her to do the same thing and the weird thing is used have like rlly rlly crazy boyfriend drama don’t even get me started
Lol over children. Mine would fight over clothes and especially over one of them losing shoes that belong to another Barbie. And that was because I constantly lost their shoes 😂
Mine used to have teen pregnancies, get kidnapped, murdered, raped, etc. i didn’t even realize anything was wrong. I was a VERY troubled child. 😂 Edit: I feel like this is reveals something about how we’re raised and all that psychological stuff omg 😂
The only thing I ever did was make the Barbies and Kens friends and they'd talk and stuff... Closest thing I got to doing the thing you all are doing is making a zombie apocalypse with my ponies(MLP)... I'd still do the apocalypse with my ponies. 😰
I know I'm late, but one of the saddest things to me is the past/present/future uproar that always occurs every time a "different" Barbie comes onto the market. Different ethnic/race Barbies have always made racist people upset. So have the curvy Barbies that don't have the (humanly unattainable) hour-glass slender figure. It's crazy to me that some people justify their hateful reasonings for wanting JUST a white, skinny, blond-haired, and blue-eyed female doll because "Historically, that's how Barbie looked." Realistically, there isn't a single person on earth that has a Barbie or Ken body. We need Barbies for every skin color, ethnicity, weight, etc.
I was a weird gay child... I would always make the girls date girls and the guys date guys, it was very rare to see girls date the guys. I guess that’s why I’m bisexual?
In response to that intro, as a child I made up complex stories with my barbies and their home, I don't know what you did and don't think I want to know.
Yes! I pretended I was a girl who boarded a boat (Bunk beds) to escape the war, but I had to take care of my little siblings, and my parents got captured.
THE PINK FLAMINGO STRIKES AGAIN!! same here. I don’t really know anyone who looked at a Barbie and was like “why don’t I look like this, why don’t these look like me”
The fact that you said "photoshop artist" and not "graphic artist" or "graphic designer" lets me know you don't know anything about the field. They did very well for this sort of project and I saw them using some photoshop tools that only well trained/practiced artists know about.
I never aspired to look like Barbie???? I knew it was a doll always and it would be weird if I looked like her. Am I the only one?Now magazine ads on the other hand... That's a different story
Totally agree with you! I get the magazine thing, but do kids really see a doll and aspire to look like them? they have exaggerated features on purpose.
I was just about to comment this as well lol. My dolls were just dolls; I never wanted to be or even look like them, and I had all kinds (black, white, whatever). Nothing of the sort crossed my mind and even when I think about it today, I realize they never shaped whom I became. I don't understand that kind of thinking when it comes to dolls.
tbh when i was little i always wanted having clothes that my barbie doll has cause i have a bunch of it and it's pretty. but only the fashion, not the makeup cause i knew it would look weird. just my barbie and bratz dolls tho, not all dolls lol
I just commented about this actually, lol. And then when I tried to put the heads back on, they never went on the same way and the barbie dolls necks would disappear, lol..
Fun stories: when I was about 7 my mom took me to a museum that showed old torture devices from the Middle Ages. I was so inspired that I built a stretching machine and guillotine. I would also hang them I HUNG THEM. (I would also melt their faces with a hairdryer and then let then melt them together.) I was a strange child
I see a lot of comments saying that they didn’t compare themselves to barbies when they were younger but I definitely did. Growing up dealing with weight issues, I definitely compared myself to barbies thinking “that’s what I’m supposed to be”. It wasn’t only barbies, I was like that with actresses, cartoon characters, all of the above. I’m just putting this out there that if you didn’t deal with that, maybe other people did.
mikaela I respect your experience and all, but I don’t think anyone assumed that nobody compared themselves to Barbie, they’re just saying that they didn’t
I feel you and though and though it's kinda rare to find it today but I'm a person who cares about your inside personality and your actual beauty. Even though today I still struggle with not caring about how I look. But I'm trying my hardest to work on my self confidence
I'm dealing with anorexia right now. I know I am very skinny and I know I have to eat. I try to push myself to do it. Dinner is the only thing I eat. I'm trying to eat more :(
Yeah, have you ever actually looked at the head to neck and body ratio on a barbie? It's so off. As a child, it looks normal, but look at it in real life as an adult. Trust me, you'll see why it looks like that in the photoshop.
TheMagicalSofa They left the faces un touched, they should've barbie-fied the faces as well. Barbies are cartoons so of course leaving the one major identifier of a person not cartoony ruins the whole thing.
My mom used to collect barbies and I secretly grabbed my favorite from the barbie closet (which was a holiday barbie). She caught me before I could finish opening the box, after that the barbie closet got a lock and I got grounded. Moral of the story is don't mess with holiday barbies.
I think Barbie aka the Mattel company should create plus sized barbies and barbies with skin conditions such as Vitiligo to raise awareness that being different is fine like if u agree 💖
@tommy a smith excuse me? do you have a problem with raising awareness and inclusiveness? i personally think it would be wonderful for little girls to be able to be represented by their favorite toy. you're the sickening one.
I had a mix of my dolls and my aunts old dolls from the 80s. One of those barbies had half a leg missing so instead of throwing him away (because he was the only other guy I had) I made him be an amputee. But I had divorced barbies, blended families, and a lot of single mothers
They actually made barbies neck that long so that she can wear layers of cloths. If the neck was normal length, she couldn't wear jackets, etc. not saying it's doesn't look wrong, but there is a purpose for the long neck. It's only for the cloths she wears not to look realistic. Barbie is also based on a doll of a prostitute from a cartoon or something in Germany, so that's also a reason why it has over exaggerated female features that men like...big boobs, small waist etc
I used to have that one Barbie and I was always with her Like Always I slept with her I bathed with her I took her to school with me Ate with her too I actually don't remember what happened to her I feel sad

Yep...Mine too.
Lmao mine went through sis vs. sis and ending up killing each other
Sameee
I never saw myself as Barbie. Barbie had nothing to do with my self esteem or how I wanted to look. Barbie was a doll that I played with.
Yeah me too. I also made them be my favourite celebrities
Silver Trees neither did I, I just thought they were fun
FINALLY someone else who doesn't think Barbies cause unrealistic beauty standards (and while I'm on the topic, Disney doesn't either because the small bodies and large eyes are a way for the audience to empathize with the characters by making them look more innocent and childlike)

And honestly, the new "realistic" Barbies creep me out for just that reason, they're too realistic and its almost uncanny valley.
Silver Trees Same to me it was Just a Doll. Not a realistic version of a human at all. Just a plastic doll.
I'm obsessed with Kristins pink dress at the end. It looks fab on her.
ME TOO! Does anybody know where she got it?
Yeah! I want it
I want it toooo!

Same here. I think children don’t really care that much about the outer appearance or the body.
To me a Barbie was the same as a baby born.
I used to cut Barbie's hair and wait for it to grow😂
Suzan Abuziyada hehe
Same. Lol
Omg saammee

Lol..
She's referring to the actual doll. They definitely did her dirty in reality with that sticker lmao
Kristen looks so beautiful in that pink dress.
We didn't play with Barbies; we made them go through terrifyingly realistic situations, such as divorce and car crashes.
Ella H. the truth
Ella H.
SAME
I remember some apocalyptic worlds we would create, my Barbie would lose her hole family and go into depression
Ella H. some weird stuff went down with mine like 😂😂😂😂
Ella H. i remember in every i mean every barbie game when i was small husband always cheating on the wife with like all of my barbies lol
i used to make mine die from a bungy jump accident....
tbh i never noticed/cared that barbie had anything that i didn't have when i was younger- her "thin" shape, her blond hair or her light skin. all that mattered most to me was that she was a toy that gave me happiness and fun.
TheAsiannMoJo same. I never cared until other people mentioned it, like my mom or grandma

I used to have funerals with my barbies. I know. I was a weird child. 🤔
Maddie Nicole. Is it because you were ripping their heads off?
I did too and then they came back from the dead
I had car crashes and kidnapping
Mine had no hair left... Arms or heads detached. 😂😂😂😂
It's not weird at all compared to me
Ok but how do they remember the barbies names like I forget my brothers name all the time.

Man, when I had baby dolls when I was younger, I would never want the black ones because "they didn't look like me". Even tho I'm black.... Barbies gave me a bunch of self esteem issues, mainly because I thought they meant you had to be blonde and blue eyed to be attractive.

I'd destroy them
They were all covered in red paint
I'd use plasticine to create wounds and it looked okay for someone that was 9 years old and my parents never thought anything was wrong with me but I dont even think they cared enough to notice I did that in secret ,I also cut their legs and arms and chewed on their hands because I liked chewing things I threw them away last year cuz I dont ay with them anymore
And they were destroyed , I only kept the once in good condition I got when I was 12 probably when i dtopped "killing " my dolls but I just couldnt keep myself from not doing something messed up ,I probably have 5 dolls that are in good condtition arent missing a limb or anything or clothes now my half brother plays with them sometimes

Everyone is weird it's just some people show it better than others and that's cool 😊

Bunny Girl I TOTALLY AGREE
i'm in LOVE with kristin's pink dress at the end, i need it
I was a weird gay child... I would always make the girls date girls and the guys date guys, it was very rare to see girls date the guys.
I guess that’s why I’m bisexual?
Loveonia 정국 my barbies were all in a poly relationship that included a lego figure about the size of their foot
My barbies were lesbians...
😂😂 yassss huneyyy
I always did that with the Sims. 90% were gay and I always tried to see if I could make a poly relationship.
lmao i made girls date girls and guys date guys or else there would be no relationships at all
KRISTIN YOUR LAVENDER DRESS TOWARDS THE END 💜💜 I'm obsessed with it
In response to that intro, as a child I made up complex stories with my barbies and their home, I don't know what you did and don't think I want to know.
When I was little I cant remember what I did, but recently my friends and I have been putting them into Hogwarts houses...
+Raini-Tonks Magic What a perfect idea, that's the only right way to play XD
Jade Chocoberry to you I like to play DIFFERENTLY
Jade Chocoberry my sisters and I would make an intricate house on the floor because we had so many barbies and not a big enough house. It was THE BEST
Jade Chocoberry I did the same bit it always included murder.
Lots and lots of murder.
And blood.
Fake blood.
From Halloween
I had a Barbie and never once thought " I wish I was her." I thought cool new toy . Besides Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy are still the best.
THE PINK FLAMINGO STRIKES AGAIN!! Same!
THE PINK FLAMINGO STRIKES AGAIN!! Thats how i felel with them
Yes! I pretended I was a girl who boarded a boat (Bunk beds) to escape the war, but I had to take care of my little siblings, and my parents got captured.
THE PINK FLAMINGO STRIKES AGAIN!! same here. I don’t really know anyone who looked at a Barbie and was like “why don’t I look like this, why don’t these look like me”
I had to dress up as my favorite toy for my Kindergarden "graduation" and my mom dressed me up as Raggedy Ann
When I had barbies....
I would make them fight physically... and I would end up breaking them.....
XxGacha KittyxX you don’t want to know what I used to do
Gwendalynn Alvarado what did u do?? 😂
Omg one time my sister was getting a little too into it and my barbie's head came off, rip to her

freddy high-key nailed that photo shoot
DANG KRISTIN! You look amazing in that pink-ish dress at the reveal - not the costume but you yourself. I love that!
Buzzfeed needs a better photoshop artist... Ik they have the money for it.
The fact that you said "photoshop artist" and not "graphic artist" or "graphic designer" lets me know you don't know anything about the field. They did very well for this sort of project and I saw them using some photoshop tools that only well trained/practiced artists know about.
xd
Didn't know layers and Liquify required practice and training

"Beautiful gold piece around her neck." Sis that's fabric from Michael's and glitter they ain't even try.
I never aspired to look like Barbie???? I knew it was a doll always and it would be weird if I looked like her. Am I the only one?Now magazine ads on the other hand... That's a different story
Totally agree with you! I get the magazine thing, but do kids really see a doll and aspire to look like them? they have exaggerated features on purpose.
I was just about to comment this as well lol. My dolls were just dolls; I never wanted to be or even look like them, and I had all kinds (black, white, whatever). Nothing of the sort crossed my mind and even when I think about it today, I realize they never shaped whom I became. I don't understand that kind of thinking when it comes to dolls.
ThereGoesKJ Right?
tbh when i was little i always wanted having clothes that my barbie doll has cause i have a bunch of it and it's pretty. but only the fashion, not the makeup cause i knew it would look weird. just my barbie and bratz dolls tho, not all dolls lol
Yeah Barbie isn't someone kids aspire to look like. She doesn't have nipples... or toes!
It couldn't have only been me that took the heads off the barbies😂😂😂
No... only me... okay then 😕
I just commented about this actually, lol. And then when I tried to put the heads back on, they never went on the same way and the barbie dolls necks would disappear, lol..
Diamond De Bonsu lol i always got sooo upset and i just winding up making my doctor barbie give them "surgery" lol
Diamond De Bonsu I used to switch the heads and push them down on their necks so they looked like weird short-necked dolls😂😂
I put their necks in between a door and slammed it, their heads popped right off
Kendall Stucky I DID THAT TOO 😂
Fun stories: when I was about 7 my mom took me to a museum that showed old torture devices from the Middle Ages. I was so inspired that I built a stretching machine and guillotine. I would also hang them I HUNG THEM.
(I would also melt their faces with a hairdryer and then let then melt them together.)
I was a strange child
okay....but why is this actually me tho :'D
Pastel pink Power puff girls omg same we'll I didn't build the torture devices but I tortured Them
Pastel pink Power puff girls
Fun, Fun, Fun!
Lily Robinson Sounds fun.
I see a lot of comments saying that they didn’t compare themselves to barbies when they were younger but I definitely did.
Growing up dealing with weight issues, I definitely compared myself to barbies thinking “that’s what I’m supposed to be”. It wasn’t only barbies, I was like that with actresses, cartoon characters, all of the above. I’m just putting this out there that if you didn’t deal with that, maybe other people did.
I have weight issues too but I never really did but I'm glad you didnt act on feeling insecure because of a doll 💜
mikaela I respect your experience and all, but I don’t think anyone assumed that nobody compared themselves to Barbie, they’re just saying that they didn’t
Same for sure
I feel you and though and though it's kinda rare to find it today but I'm a person who cares about your inside personality and your actual beauty. Even though today I still struggle with not caring about how I look. But I'm trying my hardest to work on my self confidence
I'm dealing with anorexia right now. I know I am very skinny and I know I have to eat. I try to push myself to do it. Dinner is the only thing I eat. I'm trying to eat more :(
KRISTEN WAS WEARING THE VICTORIA SECRET BRA
Lucie Belle I noticed that too 😂
Elena Pacheco Isjwjejrhwiej

Unicorn Sparkle Barf because kids don't give a fuck

Kristin's pink dress in the reveal is soooo pretty!! im in love with it, and it suits her so perfectly wowowowow she's gorgeous
Megan Emms yessss
Megan Emms ikrrrrr
I need to know where she got it omgg
"HeR hAiR tExTuRe Is SimILaIr hAiR tExTuRe To Me"
*five mins later they put a wig on her*
Størmyxcløud creates its because she has a different hair color
Bruh, whoever photoshoped the heads should take a course on photoshop.
the heads on Barbies are massive, you just can't tell because they're small
Yeah, have you ever actually looked at the head to neck and body ratio on a barbie? It's so off. As a child, it looks normal, but look at it in real life as an adult. Trust me, you'll see why it looks like that in the photoshop.
TheMagicalSofa They left the faces un touched, they should've barbie-fied the faces as well. Barbies are cartoons so of course leaving the one major identifier of a person not cartoony ruins the whole thing.
i think part of the point of the video is showing how crazy the proportions are so leaving the faces is just to amplify that effect
BlackWolf Rude..
"this is like the mom that makes the best potato salad" lolll 😂😂😂😂😂😂 her humor kills me
My mom used to collect barbies and I secretly grabbed my favorite from the barbie closet (which was a holiday barbie). She caught me before I could finish opening the box, after that the barbie closet got a lock and I got grounded. Moral of the story is don't mess with holiday barbies.
I think Barbie aka the Mattel company should create plus sized barbies and barbies with skin conditions such as Vitiligo to raise awareness that being different is fine like if u agree 💖
And now they have dolls of different body sizes! Yay!
Lexi Birch the just came out
@tommy a smith excuse me? do you have a problem with raising awareness and inclusiveness? i personally think it would be wonderful for little girls to be able to be represented by their favorite toy. you're the sickening one.
No offense but I doubt barbies with skin conditions will get sold. And then the company would discontinue it
didn't liked the whole "body positive" barbie, I would appreciate if Barbie has different heights and propositions
I didn't play with barbies. I made sculptures out of their body parts like Hannibal.
Astrogynous Rex I cut them up into as many little pieces as possible
I cut off their hair and buried them in the storm drain
Chantel’s swim suit was holo
Where my holosexuals at?
Caitlyn N here
CRISTINEEE 💿💿
Gotta get them troom troom views
Caitlyn N anybody from simply nailogical?
yo I found ma squad
I didn't think girls actually wanted to be Barbie my sister just yanked the heads off hers
Josh Anderson she needs Jesus 🤣
same
Same the only thing I wanted from Barbie was her giant house and cool car
Same! I don't know what all the controversy is about!
Crystal Cookie you all need Jesus lol
I had a mix of my dolls and my aunts old dolls from the 80s.
One of those barbies had half a leg missing so instead of throwing him away (because he was the only other guy I had) I made him be an amputee.
But I had divorced barbies, blended families, and a lot of single mothers
I want Freddies red dress, without the yellow thing
I didn't want to let go of my Barbie that broke, so I put a pencil as a leg 😂
Ny Ny lol
You could bodyswap it
Ny Ny 😂😂😂😂
Ny Ny omg lol 😂😂😂
Ny Ny I did that too lol
Kristen always dresses so cute!
I know right?
I want to know we’re she got that pink one!!
Whoever did Kristin's wig and dress, Freddy's 'gold piece' and that terrifying photoshopping job, I'd like a word
was I the only one that just played with them in the bath tub? lol
oceaneyes I did too but made sure to only put the "diver" Barbie in the tub
yes and then I'd get gross barbie hair in my bath 😂😂
i did yeah, i also had the mermaid ones that changed colour that i got for christmas one year
I tried to take all my toys into the bath tbh
oceaneyes me and my brothers used to lol
I loved freddies hair at the end!
6:33 😂 "this is like a mom who makes the best potato salad."
“I cut all of their totally hair right off”-Kristen 2k17
they could've just photoshopped their faces on the picture of the original barbie it would look the same
can we discuss how gorgeous kristen is and how perfect her outfits are like she is rocking it you go queen
Ashton Cody her hair and costume was completely inaccurate and tacky
Tf are you talking about? She looked terrible in this one.
SIS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE
Ew no lol
I love reading about the weird stuff everyone did with their Barbies. Good stuff people. Very entertaining.
"Can a neck gold up that much head?" I can't I'm dead 😂 😂 😂
Lashonda Malveaux hold not gold -_-
Lol yeah
Lashonda Malveaux hold* -_-
Ur neck gave out?
They actually made barbies neck that long so that she can wear layers of cloths. If the neck was normal length, she couldn't wear jackets, etc. not saying it's doesn't look wrong, but there is a purpose for the long neck. It's only for the cloths she wears not to look realistic. Barbie is also based on a doll of a prostitute from a cartoon or something in Germany, so that's also a reason why it has over exaggerated female features that men like...big boobs, small waist etc
5:22 is just when I knew everything was just going downhill....😂
You like barbie
Isabelle BBUUURRNNN i
Oh jeez
Isabel
Isabelle BBUUURRNNN is
yellow is Kristin's color 💛 and Freddie is giving me Huey P. Newton vibes with the chair and turtleneck ✊🏾
I used to have that one Barbie and I was always with her
Like
Always
I slept with her
I bathed with her
I took her to school with me
Ate with her too
I actually don't remember what happened to her
I feel sad
My favorite doll's hands kept falling off
Awwwww
Barbie wasn't created to look realistic. Comparing yourself to Barbie is like comparing yourself to an anime character.
SOMEONE SAID IT. THANK YOU.
everyone's sensitive now and days
yooo its tru omh no om ecan be that perfectt
ironically tho people tell me I look like an anime character all the time
Kat E So true.
Barbies used to look more realistic but now they look like anime wanna be
