If scaled into real life proportions, she would be 5 feet, 9 inches, (1.75 m) measuring 36-18-33. According to research by the University Central Hospital in Helsinki, Finland, she would lack the requisite 17 to 22 percent of body fat required to menstruate.

the fact that she would have 36-18-33 measurements is freakin people out?
considering 36-24-34 would be ideal to many people. 6” on the waist? that’s the big deal?
then again, in America, 36-42-42 (or worse) would probably be more normal these days.
my guess, fatties are upset. tough beans. get off yer ass, go on a diet, and get some daily exercise. stop bitchin about a doll.
