Realistic barbies will be out soon!

Thank God now we can find a Barbie that looks exactly like you.

With the demanding media telling you what you should wear, or how you should look, here's a hope for a diverse future. A future where you are accepted and liked for just being you.


Beauty comes in different colors, sizes, weights and styles. And guess what dolls?

Barbie finally gets you.

Fans will be able to choose 23 different barbies from the Barbie Fashionista Line. The dolls will have different eye colors, hair colors, skin tone, hairstyles and even face shapes. Barbie upgraded and we are thankful for that.


We are all beautiful the way we are, and we shouldn't feel less than that because the media tells you different. Stand up for yourself, and make a change. These Barbies understand that, and promotes diversity and acceptance.


For the dolls, there will be 18 eye colors, 23 hair colors, eight different skin tones, 22 hairstyles and 14 facial structures. The unique dolls are expected to arrive in stores on October-- and we cannot wait.


"We're thrilled to see the growing diversity among dolls," said Debbie Sterling, GoldieBox founder.


The brand believes there is nothing wrong with looking like princesses, but girls should be able to build their own castle as well. The brand also notices that girls are discouraged to be in the field of science, technology and engineering. Sterling promotes confidence, strong verbal skills, and equality among girls and boys.


"GoldieBlox is determined to change the equation. We aim to disrupt the pink aisle and inspire the future generation of female engineers," said Sterling.


Another brand that supports diversity is Naturally Perfect Dolls, launched Angela Sweeting, an Africa-American mom dedicated to teach her daughters the truth about beauty. Sweeting worried that her daughters would dislike their facial features and skin color. With that concern, she was able to create a natural looking doll, that represents girls of color.


"Seeing my daughter struggle with her beauty at the age of three was completely terrifying for me," Sweeting said. "I could not fully understand how a child so young could be aware of her outer appearance and even disapprove of it," Sweeting said.


According to her, the Angelina Doll was created to open the eyes of young teens struggling with their narrow view of beauty. She created the doll so kids can see themselves in a doll.


What good news for all of the women out there; let's celebrate diversity and embrace our true beauty.
