People tend to interpret a person’s external appearance as a reflection of their inner-self disregarding the age-old saying of never judging a book by its cover. It is incontrovertible that one can tell a lot from another’s inner self from the physical appearance albeit the accuracy of the inference to be highly challenged and inaccurate.

THE BARBIE DOLL EFFECT Nearly every girl has had a Barbie doll at some point in her life. I had my first Barbie Doll when I was eight years old. At the time, it was the best thing I had ever seen; she was my most prized possession. I remember running the tiny brush through her long, soft, blonde hair, and dressing her up in lovely outfits.
