…for girls!
The Venezuelan president is speaking out against the hottest fad for 15-year-old girls in that country: new breasts for your birthday! Evidently Venezuela does not share our designer vagina passion – give them time, give them time. But breast implants are very popular. Plastic surgery – and spending on the pursuit of beauty in general – is commonplace in Venezuela. But Chavez says that breast implants are another sign of undesirable Western influence – in this case, encouraging women to look like Barbie dolls. When you’ve seen one boob, you’ve seen ‘em all …but seriously, this is really uncalled for, even for Chavez. How else will Joe Francis make a living? Because he’s not going to be able to film in this country for much longer.
As good a time as any for a Barbie moment:
If the original Barbie doll were a real woman:
She’d be 5′9″ and 110 pounds. (BMI: 16.2; 18.5 is the minimum for a healthy weight)
She’d have 33″ hips, an 18″ waist, and quite the cleavage: 36″
Of course, being so thin, she wouldn’t be able to menstruate. Hey, even better, right? That way she can’t get pregnant!
Personally, I believe Barbie is the least of our troubles. In all fairness, she has gotten a more reasonable waist in recent years. Two words: Bratz dolls. 7 is the new sexy!
Good for him! Young girls don’t need breast implants. Grown women don’t need them for that matter. I think embracing natural beauty is a proud, resonable stance.
