"  Barbie&amp;#039;s mythical proportions have been called into question for awhile now, and Pittsburgh-based artist Nickolay Lamm is finally taking action to do something about it. This past summer, Lamm created a doll he called &amp;quot;Normal Barbie,&amp;quot; and his creation soon went viral. Lamm&amp;#039;s doll received so much support that he&amp;#039;s now launched a campaign to fund production of Lammily.         Lamm created Lammily by molding the CDC&amp;#039;s measurements for an average 19-year-old female to a 3-D model of a Barbie doll. He hopes his doll, who wears very light makeup and is dressed with &amp;quot;striking simplicity,&amp;quot; promotes a healthy lifestyle and realistic beauty standards. It remains to be seen if kids will take to a version of Barbie with such realistic proportions, but as someone who despised the fact that Barbie couldn&amp;#039;t stand on her own due to her feet molded into the shape of high heels and top-heaviness, the Lammily doll would have been a welcome addition to my collection as a child. You can help back the project right here. [Via BuzzFeed] Follow REDBOOK on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
