Barbie Vs Gypzy

Barbie: child's size 3, 39FF, 39-21-33,
Gypzy: Women's size 10, 34C, 34-30-40

I'm not barbie. I'm 68 inches, which doesn't sound like much, but I'm taller than most of the women I know. I'm a size 11, and still have to force myself not to go into shock when I see 'Size 0' written on a tag. Size 9 is the smallest I've ever been as an adult, and I looked sick. It's not news to anyone that Barbie is unrealistic. Fact of the matter is, I'm finally getting to the point where I'm really okay with who I am, and how I look. I don't have "abs" or a washboard stomach, I could be in better shape. I grew up around Hispanic girls and women who were so petite, it was hard to tell many of them were pregnant, because they were incapable of gaining significant amounts of weight. Those who did "look pregnant" usually didn't look that way until month 8 or 9, when they suddenly looked like they'd topple over if they stood for long.
I have wide hips, long, thick legs, and am not built like Britney Spears. I don't care.

Barbie can kiss my ass. She has no place to put a decent tattoo.
