Skinny Mini

So...I was just watching the tryouts for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Uh huh. I was. I think that what it all comes down to is the fact that I am a frustrated cheerleader at heart. I always wanted to be a cheerleader but couldn't, due to the fact that my family always made fun of them (and it's a good thing that I didn't, too, because most of the cheerleaders at my high school got pregnant. I know that BEING a cheerleader is NOT the cause of pregnancy...or maybe it is. I call for further research on that one).

However, I was VERY UPSET when, at the end of the team announcements, they introduced these brand new Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader Barbie dolls. I mean, I already think that regular Barbies are too skinny. But these dolls? Unless I'm mistaken, they're SKINNIER than regular Barbies - like almost anorexic/crack whores. Please tell me that they aren't selling these to little girls.

I'm obviously no skinny mini, but the world's projection of beauty/accepted body size is getting more and more ridiculous. No wonder very few women in the world are satisfied with the way they look.
