It began for Nickolay Lamm as a question: What would Barbie look like if she had the dimensions of an average woman? His answer came in the form of the Lammily doll: a shorter, broader, brunette version of the idealistic blond Mattel doll. Now Lammily is ready to make her debut, complete with a sticker pack that features pimples, moles, cellulite and scars that can be applied. "I feel she looks so real, so ordinary, that you don't focus on what she looks like but ... on what she does," he said by telephone on Wednesday. That perspective helped propel Lamm's crowd-funding effort to build the doll.
