Christen Harper calls out 'unrealistic beauty standards' in throwback clip

Christen Harper has always been one to speak out about negative issues. The swimsuit model has also worked tirelessly in the world of modeling in order to bring about change. This was something she always considered a priority, even when she was younger.

Harper uploaded a funny and satirical video on her Instagram account. The video was from a sketch she shot when she was a teenager for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

In the video, two girls, one of whom was Christen, hold Barbie and Ken dolls. They sigh because the dolls are too "perfect." Little Christen says:

"I hate them."

But then they get introduced to "Realistic Barbie," a new doll that was made in a way that represented normal and realistic people. Therefore, the doll did not conform to the beauty standards of society and had uncombed hair with dandruff.

Christen re-shared the video on her Instagram story and wrote:

"Baby me did NOT vibe with unrealistic beauty standards lol."
