The symbol of women’s beauty that is so popular among the little girls – the Barbie doll – is anorexic. This conclusion was made by the Galya Slayen who conducted a very interesting experiment. The recreated Baribie in real human height, strictly following all proportions of the original doll. It turned out that these proportions were unhealthy and the famous doll should never become a role model for the young girls. The modified doll was 174 cm (six feet) tall, and the bust was almost 100 cm (39 “). These proportions very much resembled the colorful shapes Pamela Anderson has. Doll’s waist was only 45 cm (18 “), hips – 83 cm (33 “). If mass index is calculated upon these measures, the diagnosis would be anorexia.

Unfortunately such shoes can be very dangerous as well. Many test results have shown that traumas, following walking on high heels, were much more complex and severe than sports traumas.
