This disgusts me. For decades our contemporary, Western standard of beauty has decayed into an unrealistic, contrived manufaction of disillusion that no longer even coincides with nature. This doll has brown eyebrows and bleach blonde hair; this doll is boasting a full face of synthetic make-up; this doll’s eyes are an unnatural, contactical hue. All such aesthetics imply one simple, heinous notion: In order to be beautiful one must be artificial. Such consumerist products teach our children that artificiality is desirable. To be attractive one must be a synthetic simulation, a mere reproduction of doctored images and anorexic models and societal unrealism. This doll is a perfectly corroded symbol of fractured self-esteem, encouraged falsity, and heartened facsimiles within the United States. We have made millions by counterfeiting our youngest generation. High five, America.
