Barbie’s Real-Life Measurements
Legendary shoe designer Christian Louboutin was badmouthing his newest client, Barbie, this past week. According to the French designer, Barbie “has fat ankles,” so he recreated the doll with skinnier legs for the new collection, to come out this year. Ouch—wonder what this shoe god says about our non-one-inch ankles.
Ever wonder, if Barbie were a real woman, what her measurements would be? We’ll tell you.

Our Creator made us the way we were meant to be!! It's more important to take care of,or maintain, our personal temple(ie, our physical bodies), than to live up to an impossible standard that the Father of Lies (read, SATAN!) has created to distract us from our true purpose, to establish a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ!!

You have to remember that these are the images that young girls are seeing. This is what they are comparing themselves and others to. It has disastrous effects.
