As it's the London film premiere of Barbie tonight, I thought I'd celebrate by throwing it back to this debate I did with my friend and new mummy @montanarosebrown1 about whether or not Barbie is a good role model. 🩷

I'd actually love to know what you guys think here, is Barbie a good role model?

Firstly, I'm shocked at how many of my friends or people online told me they weren't allowed a Barbie growing because she had an adult body or because she was *tarty*. A female body is not sexual by default! Having b00bs Isn't sexual, it's just being adult. Isn't it interesting that we subconsciously teach our kids that boobs is "tarty". No wonder so many of us big-boobed girls suffer slut-shaming.

OUR BODIES ARE NOT OUR MORALS. HYPERSEXUALISATION NOT OUR FAULT.

I think Barbie is the biggest bad-ass feminist because she shows you can be beauty AND brains. Barbie has had over 200 professions, different body shapes and is available in 7 skin colours, 22 eye colours, and 24 hair types. This figure might have even increased.

I am VERY aware I am white, blonde, with a similar body shape! (one that isn't accepted in fashion), but I feel that, whilst more can always be done, the Barbie brand does listen to controversy and feedback and has been championing diversity for years.

Here's some facts I learnt and found interesting:

1967/8: Barbie launched what is believed to be the first African-American doll, called Francie & then Christie.

1980: Barbie launched its first range of Hispanic dolls

1990: Barbie hosted a focus group with African-American mums and kids and a parent psychologist to create dolls with different features, skin tones, and hair textures.

1997: Barbie launched its first doll in a wheelchair. A 17 year old girl with cerebral palsy wrote in to say the wheelchair didn't fit through the doors of the Barbie Dreamhouse, so they redesigned the house.

1997: Barbie's mould was redesigned and she was given a wider waist.

2016: Barbie released a range of curvy, tall, and petit models.

Curvy Barbie was their best-selling model that year and made the front cover of Time magazine! 👏🩷

I think Barbie is AWESOME and can't wait to see the film!🍿
