Plus-size model Ashley Graham gets her own barbie doll

Plus size model and body activist Ashley Graham now has her own barbie doll! Yes, a plastic doll modelled in her likeness! She is thick, got arms, round hips and a tummy! Oh and she has no thigh gap just like majority of us! How cool is that?

The doll was presented to her at Glamour's women of the Year summit in Los Angeles on Monday!
“We need to work together to redefine the global image of beauty and continue to push for a more inclusive world,” Ashley said in a statement. “I’m thrilled Barbie has not only evolved their product, but also has continued to honor women who are pushing boundaries. It’s an honor to be immortalized in plastic.”

“It was important that the Barbie resembled me as much as possible," Ashley continued. "The thighs touching was one way to show young girls that it’s okay for your thighs to touch, despite society saying that a ‘thigh gap’ is more beautiful."
