This
past weekend Mattel announced that it is updating its notorious Barbie doll to
be more diverse with additions of body types that include curvy, petite and
tall forms, according to TIME.The new Barbie dolls also will have a variety of skin tones and hairstyles. This
should increase Barbie’s market, allowing a greater variety of young girls to
have dolls they can personally identify with; the dolls look more like them
rather than a standardized ideal.
