Body shape

[5029]

i read somewhere that if Barbie was a real person she would walk on all fours due to her measurements. Is this true and if so, how can this be true when people like Jordan can walk upright?

[tracymort]

I heard that too. I think Jordan can walk cos her legs aren't as long and her boob being fake are maybe lighter?? Or it's her head that is lighter so she doesn't fall over (sorry, couldn't resist). I don't think she has quite the same proportions. I know it's quite dangerous as that woman on Eurotrash was suffocated by her chest.

Jordan might look like a plastic doll but her proportions aren't the same as Barbie's therefore she can still walk, just! Another thing I heard was that if a woman was to get as slim as shop mannequins she would stop menstruating. Scary!

Tracyh - your answer is an urban myth - Lolo Ferarri committed suicide - with pills if memory serves.

I didn't know that! I was just going by what was said on that programme about her death.

from what my other half tells me about jordan, she does have problems standing up, but she ends up on her back rather than falling forwards. i'm thinking about the dynamics of bodies and i reckon you can have whatever size boobs you want, so long as your feet are big enough to balance the load

My friend, although short, has 36E boobs and size 3 shoes!!! she manages without too many trip ups, i think it may be possible for barbie, although i think barbie's minute torso would collapse under the weight!

If she were life-sized, Barbie's measurements would be: 39-23-33, or so they say. She'd be able to walk, but would be better off having a sensible meal, surely?
