Demi Lovato may be too old to play with dolls. But she isn’t too old to gush over them. Following a series of Tweets in which Lovato complained to Mattel about the unrealistic dimensions of Barbie and how her slight figure might have a negative effect on young girls, artist Nickolay Lamm has given the icon a makeover . He used CDC measurements of how an average 19-year old woman would look – shorter in stature, with a curvy body and flat feet – and Lovato is a HUGE fan. “That new @barbie’s got BACK!!!!! Hahahaha #bootybootybootyboottrockineverywhere” Lovato Tweeted of the doll, adding that she is “AWESOME.” Demi, of course, has been very open about her history of eating disorders and has been an advocate for young women with self-esteem issues across the board. She recently admitted that she was suicidal at the age of 7 . And now, thanks to Lovato’s efforts, perhaps future 7-year olds will have their confidence restored over the sight of a plumper Barbie doll.
