Once upon a time, beauty was about curves, elegance, and individuality—think Marilyn Monroe, a symbol of confidence and allure in the 1950s. 
Then came Barbie in 1959, a doll whose impossibly slender waist, endless legs, and flawless face began to dictate an entirely new standard. Barbie wasn’t just a toy; she was an ideal projected onto generations of women, whispering, “This is what you should aspire to.”

The shift was stark. Marilyn, with her natural, celebrated imperfections, embodied the real woman. Barbie, in contrast, was a plasticized version of perfection. Today, the legacy of that shift persists: we live in a world where women are still pressured to conform to unrealistic standards set by industries and ideals often defined by men.

But here’s the truth—our worth is not dictated by how closely we resemble a doll. Bodies are not trends; they are real, complex, and beautiful in their diversity. Why should we keep adjusting ourselves to match fleeting, arbitrary standards? Who decides what’s perfect, anyway?

This design is a celebration of the real over the ideal. It's a reminder that authenticity, flaws, and individuality are what make us human. Break free from their standards. You’re not a doll, and you don’t need to be.
