7.What would Barbie look like if she were average?According to US artist Nickolay Lamm,she would be a brunette with a rounded face and a much thicker waist.
Frustrated with the unrealistic beauty standards of Barbie and her friends,Lamm took data from Disease Control and Prevention about an average 19-year-old American woman,who is about 163cm tall,with a 84-cm waist. With those measurements,Lamm created a doll.
The doll-s tagline (口号)is"Average is beautiful."
"I think a realistic-size doll is important because when I look at current dolls on the market,they all look like supermodels,"the artist told APF."I just had the impression that the wall of supermodels suggests that something is wrong with you if you don-t look like one. So I created an alternative to suggest that it's OK to look like a normal person."
The Lammily dolls,which are 27cm tall,have been on sale since last month.
Lammily also has other features. Unlike Barbie and her friends,whose pointed legs would force her to walk on all fours if she were real,Lammily has articulated(枢接的) joints-able to walk,run,and play. The doll can even be put in a yoga position.
What's more,the Lammily dolls include a sticker package that can help to add real-life marks to the dolls,including freckles,acne,moles,and tattoos.
"You can also add minor cuts and bruises,like ones you'd get from falling down while snowboarding,"Lamm told NBC.
"I feel that,right now. dolls are very perfect looking,when,in real life,few of us have perfect skin,"Lamm told The Huffington Post."Things like pimples are a natural part of who we are. So,why not give dolls a real treatment?"
As The Huffington. Post said,"Getting kids used to the idea that these things are completely normal and not 6flaws'(缺陷) to be ashamed of can only be a good thing."
