The anatomically grotesque 38-18-33 Barbie
Debates in the Mattel boardroom over Ken
Thirty-seven-year-old Barbie is still 5'6" tall, nearly 50 percent leg.
Matt: If Barbie was a real person, what would her measurements be? — DJ, Del Mar
Thirty-seven-year-old Barbie is still 5'6" tall, nearly 50 percent leg, and measures an anatomically grotesque 38-18-33, same as she did at birth. There’s a 40-year-old woman from Kansas whose Barbie obsession prompted her to have 22 surgical tucks, sucks, enlargements, and rearrangements to approximate the face and figure of the Mattel toy. Perhaps she inspired Barbie’s chum, “Growing Up” Skipper, marketed in the early ’70s. When the lucky owner rotated Skipper’s arm, the doll grew taller, her breasts stuck out, and her waist got smaller. Ken is relatively boring, except for the debates in the Mattel boardroom over his groin — featureless in the original 1961 doll, but eventually provided with a discreet and amorphous “bulge” a few years later.
