Barbie's are looked at as an ideal figure and look. In our world today, girls want to be "perfect". Our society makes us sick by trying to fit in and be like everyone else. Teenaged girls will do anything to make themselves feel like they belong. Our society messes with our heads, making us believe in an ideal figure. With our minds in a bad state, the first thing that does come to mind will usually happen. Whether it is a bad or good decision, our society makes us believe it is the right thing. This door shows a teenage girl wanting to be perfect like the Barbie dolls that she grew up admiring.
