Barbie and the Formulas
What is the first thing
that a women or a girl think about when she see or hear the word Barbie? The
first thing that will come in her mind: “OH, how much I want to look like her.”
But why? Why most of women, girls, and of course the
children too, want to look like Barbie? Is that because media and
advertisements formulate women beauty in the tall legs, curved waist, big lips,
small nose, wide chest, and long blond hair like the Barbie doll? And then who
is the women that will fascinate the man? Of course the one who have all these
beauty standards.
The picture above is from tumblr.com, in this website you can find a lot of pictures and videos for Barbie makeup, and how to make yourself look exactly like Barbie doll. When looking at this picture, you will find that the module is making her makeup to try to reach the Barbie look, thinking that is Barbie is the perfect symbol of beauty.
No doubt Barbie is very
beautiful and fashionable, but to consider that beauty formulas is just in the
woman or the girl who look like Barbie will be crazy, and of course what helped
in these thoughts is the media, which imagine the beauty standards which in
Barbie should be in the woman if she want to look pretty in men eyes, and
that’s why all women want to reach the perfection in beauty and not imagining
that this could cost them to lose their own personality and just look like a doll.
“Men are self-confident because they grow up
identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up
identifying with Barbie.” Rita Rudner. (Brainy Quote. 2013).
