Barbie, you may have a fantastic rack, but you have
seriously fat ankles.
At least, that's what designer Christian Louboutin says, and why he
isn't letting any of his designer shoes be recreated in a mini-doll-version
until that girl has some serious plastic surgery done. Her ankles, he says, are
simply too fat.
Is he serious? We are analyzing Barbie's ankles? We critique celebrities for
their taste in clothes, how much weight they've put on their hips and now,
Barbie's freaking ankles!?
Seriously, if fashion designers can find something imperfect about the most
perfect woman ever, then what hope is there for the rest of us? How can any
woman be considered perfect when measured by such unrealistic standards? If
Barbie can't do it, then who can?
Let's be honest, should we really base our view of what a real women should
look like on the opinion of a fashion designer? After viewing some of the
outfits walking down runways this season, I would say not.
So, let them redesign Barbie's ankles. It does't matter anyhow. She isn't real.
She isn't a reflection of what all women should look like. She can't be,
because if she was she'd be wearing a baggy T-shirt to cover up that extra roll
of fat she developed after the birth of her second child, a pair of sweatpants
to cover that extra scoop of ice cream that showed up on her hips, and her hair
in a ponytail because she doesn't have time to go to the salon in between
jumping on the metro to go to work and cleaning baby spit off her new blouse.
