WTF, Louboutin?!
So shoe designer Christian Louboutin is the first fashion outlaw in a few months that has decide to use Barbie as an inspiration and give her a makeover. No news there, right? Except that Louboutin thinks that Barbie has fat ankles. Barbie, whom in real life would have no space for internal organs, has friggin' cankles.
Now I'm not one of those people that are anti-Barbie. In working in the childcare industry and also from my own memories, I've found that kids are pretty creative and usually destructive about the doll. Yeah, there are the select few kids who are all about Barbie having the cute outfits and looking all prim, but most kids just destroy/eat/make ill-conceived almost-porn with the doll. (I used to chop off all their hair and give them grocery bag parachutes.)
Nope, what bugs me is what this says about my age bracket. I mean, if Barbie "has cankles," then what does that say about RL women? For starters, I guess it means that we aren't supposed to wear Louboutin shoes, but come on! Way to boost my self-esteem, douchebag! If Barbie has fat ankles, then I'd hate to think of how you view most of the women in this country!
Gah, and people wonder why I like my Birkenstocks so damned much. At least Birkenstocks don't make me feel like a cow. Or look like they could kill a person if used in combat.
