"    As the fashion world slowly comes to accept the demands of plus-size women with realistic H&amp;amp;amp;M mannequins and plus-size swimsuit models, last week it came to a tipping point. Plus-Size-Modeling.com posted an image that depicted a plus-size Barbie with the question of whether heavier dolls should be marketed to kids, via Worth100:    Post by Plus Size Modeling.   35,000 people have liked the image, but, as they do, the critics came out in droves via comments. One commenter wrote: &amp;quot;Imo this is horrible. Maybe make her a little fuller,but in no way promote obesity. Triple chins?? Really?? Im a curvy girl,but come on this is ridiculous.&amp;quot;   This isn&amp;#039;t the first time Barbie got a virtual makeover to reflect the average female proportions: Over this past summer, the artist Nickolay Lamm created Normal Barbie, who&amp;#039;s got the butt and waist of your standard 19-year-old woman.
