Title: Barbie syndrome
Post by: SEO on June 07, 2012, 02:32:12 AM

Barbie syndrome

  Ever heard about it? I learnt about it tonight, when I was searching about something else. Well, learn:
Barbie syndrome is a term used to describe the desire to have a physical appearance and lifestyle representative of the Barbie doll. It is most often associated with pre-teen and adolescent females but is applicable to any age group. A person with Barbie syndrome attempts to emulate the doll's physical appearance, even though the doll has unattainable body proportions.

  Yes, I know it's more about the psychology, but I can see some philosophical aspects of this, so that was why I posted it here.
