Ashley Graham is looking back at her life as a Barbie doll. No, the supermodel isn’t in Greta Gerwig’s new “Barbie” movie, but Mattel made a doll in her likeness in 2016. “The first things that cam…
“The first things that came to mind were thick thighs, lower belly fat, round arms [and] cellulite,” Graham recalls requesting of the toy company on this week’s episode of the “Just for” podcast. “And I got to do everything except for the cellulite. … Maybe it was too hard to figure out how to do that with the computer.”
Graham is reuniting with the storied brand by hosting HGTV’s “Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge.” The show features eight design duos creating different Barbie-themed rooms in an L.A. area home. The winning team have a donation made in their names to Save the Children, and a Barbie megafan also gets to stay in the house for a vacation. Guest judges include Jonathan Adler, Christian Siriano, “Entertainment Tonight” anchor Nischelle Turner and “Black-ish” star Marsai Martin.
“And now, fast-forward 15, 20 years later and we’re seeing different bodies, we’re seeing different shapes,” she continues. “It is now starting to become more of a norm to see people un-retouched, and to see bodies jiggle, and to talk about the fact that being a certain size, it doesn’t equate to health. Those things are exceptional, and I’m so grateful that the industry finally has caught on.”
