The world of fashion is ridiculous. This we all know. As much as we love fun clothes and overpriced handbags, I think the majority of us take fashion magazines and trends with a grain of salt.
Most of us, that is.
Not Christian Louboutin.
No. He takes this all very seriously.
Mr Louboutin is designing three Barbie Dolls to celebrate Barbie’s 50th Anniversary, and he’s discovered an inherent flaw with Barbs.
Girlfriend has cankles. Yes. Fat Ankles. BARBIE HAS FAT ANKLES.
A Louboutin spokesperson, who shortly after this will probably unemployed, revealed that the Louboutin dolls “are wild” and “even come with mini Louboutin boxes for shoes” – but, she points out, “he [Louboutin] found her ankles were too fat.”
As Metro writer Miles Erwin put it,
“Poor Barbie. She’s told she’s too top heavy to totter around in real life and studies have shown she lacks the 22 per cent body fat required to menstruate.”
And now, some diva shoe designer has told her she has fat ankles.
We all know that Barbie has long been criticized for being too thin, and has even been blamed for causing poor body image in young girls. “Fat” is something Barbie has never been called, and I’m sure she’s not taking the news lightly.
In fact, I’m sure Barbie – after crying in the shower and cursing her fat, immobile, plastic ankles – is wondering why she ever gave up her career as an aerobics instructor, and is currently down at the gym, asking a personal trainer about which exercises one should do to Decankle their legs.
At this rate it’s only a matter of time until Louis Vouitton calls Barbie up to let her know her elbows are too husky to carry his handbags.
Tis a hardknock life when you're plastic.
