Good post.
I’m thinking Lolo Jones at 5-9, 160.

So do some of the World’s Strongest Man competitors.

I have one thing to add, as a possible RETORT!

Is that Niki Minaj? I wondered what she was up to since being kicked off American Idol.

They should have put her in a burka to hide the visual polution!

"Exactly. And if the present Barbie were life-size she'd be 6 feet tall, weigh 100 pounds, have an 18" waist and be unable to menstruate...or walk. Surely there's some point between that and obesity, like maybe an athletic Barbie."

Absolutely, there is a middle ground. But when I was a kid, we never gave a thought to Barbie's size; I think, even at a young age, we had the sense to understand she was a TOY.

Curvy = fat
plus size = hugely fat
Pleasantly plump = gigantically fat
BBW = disgustingly massively fat

I am sick of this PC nonsense.

They want a FAT barbie to make fat women feel like it’s fine to be fat. Well it ain’t. It’s not attractive and it’s not healthy. if you need proof of this just look at the hideous Michelle Obama dolls. They aren’t fat even though Michelle Obama is fat because no one, not even liberals, wants to look at big fat people.

[Organic Panic]

“Why are fat girls and mopeds alike?”

No one wants to look at them

No one wants to ride them

No one aspires to have one of their own when they’re kids

But some times you’re stuck with them because that’s the best you could do.

Thats the First Witch!....

The One's... "bride"...

Oh, I’m plenty strong, if disabled. Remember, I lift over 300lbs when I get up from a chair or roll out of bed. LOL

No way I belong on a Barbie thread, but that last picture "DANG!!!" and I mean "DANG!!! in a good way.

Nuff said :)

[central_va]

Both are fun to ride but you never want your friends catch you on one.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I love men who say “well I never would date a big girl” blah, blah, blah.

Hannah will teach you Japanese:

‘come out with their own plus-size doll? ‘

It could be the Kim Kardashian doll.
