Barbara led a short life, both fictionally and on-screen. But she did touch millions of hearts along the way. She was seen as a symbol of the minority. After all, she was smart, tall, curvy, and not part of the In Crowd in school.
Simply, Barb was every last one of us typical high school kids. And that’s what made her death all the more devastating.
Barb’s sense of style is a breath of fresh air! She wears simple high-waist mom jeans, brown loafers, a cool plaid top with frills, and an awesome pair of eyeglasses. She’s a real icon!
Barb shows that mainstream media can have attractive plus-size women that don’t need to necessarily be comedic reliefs or sexy stars. Here’s everything you need to look like Barb.
