Adriana Lima, Josephine Skriver, Elsa Hosk and a bunch of their new talent are in a recent catalog and I was pretty amazed that they took the “Free the nipple” approach and have finally answered to criticism of the public and the media – about photoshopping these already amazing girls…or more importantly…misrepresenting their products they sell by erasing the nipple…and turning their already Barbie Doll bodies…into genital-less and Nippleless – Barbie Dolls.. This is a FLASHBACK to when Catalogs were good to jerk off to – before airbrushing.. This is a FLASHBACK to when we all used to jerk off to Victoria’s Secret we had sent to our houses under fake girl names before porn…
Nicole Sanders, 33, said: #39;Growing up I was always playing with Barbie dolls and I just loved the way she looked. I also admired hot women like Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra and I knew deep down that I wanted to be like them. Nicole Sanders has had more than #x0024;100,000 worth of surgeries in an effort to resemble a Barbie doll. A transgender woman says she lost her home after appearing on a new reality television show dedicated to fixing #39;botched#39; surgeries – and to add insul
Plus-size models and modeling have gained a lot of traction in 2013, as they a purpose beyond marketing plus-size clothing to a growing market. They also provide women with a more diverse range of bodies to look up to, which potentially improves self-confidence, body image and social norms. So if we have plus-size models … should plus-size Barbies be next? That’s the question posed recently by Plus-Size-Modeling (dot) com on Facebook … The illustration of a plus-size Barbie doll actually comes from a contest on Worth1000.com, a site where artists compete in daily creative competitions. The image, created by artist bakalia, won a contest called “Feeding Time 9.” But when re- posted last week by Plus-Size-Modeling (dot) com, the depiction of Barbie with a double chin and a curvier physique sparked debate. Over 35,000 people have “liked” it, but many criticize it, asking whether society should be praising being overweight any more than being too skinny. Maria Kang has yet to weigh in … but we know where she stands. “No one is naturally fat for gods sake, that’s sending the wrong message to girls that it’s ok to look like this and be unhealthy…” said one commenter. Another noted, “Imo this is horrible. Maybe make her a little fuller, but in no way promote obesity. Triple chins?? Really?? Im a curvy girl, but come on this is ridiculous.” The debate mirrors one waged in the fashion world when Curvy Girl lingerie kicked off a campaign to share images of “regular” women in their underwear. Because several of those models were overweight, the campaign was criticized for allegedly encouraging unhealthy habits and promoting obesity. There were also those who wondered aloud where the “average” size bodies are. In other words, bodies that are neither “plus-size” nor a size 0. As one commenter noted beneath the Barbie image on Plus-Size-Modeling, “Wish there was an ‘average’ Barbie. Not skinny, not obese. Normal.” On that note, artist Nickolay Lamm recently created a 3-D model of an “average” Barbie-like doll, based on CDC estimates of an average 19-year-old. “If we criticize skinny models, we should at least be open to the possibility that Barbie may negatively influence young girls as well,” Lamm said. Check out that artist’s rendering of ” normal Barbie ” below, as well as another conceptualization of Barbie without makeup … she’s really a hot topic!
Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova, a.k.a. Human Barbie, is back and crazier than ever in a new set of photos – and a documentary trailer. She was recently profiled by Vice, which describes her as “not a real girl at all, but a time-traveling spiritual guru whose purpose is to save the world.” From what? The “clutches of superficiality and negative energy,” obviously. Human Barbie Video “In the majority of my past lives I was a man,” she muses. “I really liked that role. I’ve always occupied a dominating position in whichever society I have lived.” Mmm. Human Barbie , who’s also nicknamed Real-Life Barbie and/or Space Barbie, is profiled in an upcoming documentary, the trailer of which appears above. For some HOT (if you’re into that) Valeria Lukyanova photos , follow the jump … Yeah. Pretty much the definition of epic weirdness right there. Ironically, a fake photo of a so-called normal Barbie has become all the rage, while an almost entirely fake person tries to emulate the “real” Barbie. But the real question on our minds here at THG: Human Barbie: Would you hit it? Heck yeah! Heck no! Depends on alcohol consumption … I already own a Kim K. blowup doll, thanks. View Poll »
Soooo what exactly are they trying to say with the accessories though? Parents beware. Mattel is under fire for opening the door on the ugly immigration debate with their latest toy. Via International Business Times reports : A new Mexican Barbie in Mattel’s “Dolls of the World” series has sparked outrage for what opponents argue is an offensive depiction of Mexican culture. According to Fox News Latino, the new line of Barbie dolls was launched to appeal to a more “diverse generation” of customers and boasts a number of dolls from Latin America. But the Mexican Barbie, its newest addition, sparked a particular backlash when journalist Laura Martinez mocked it on her blog, writing, “The folks over at Mattel are so smart, that not only they have come up with a Mexican Barbie, but they have given her all the possible tools to go around the U.S. the world undisturbed [sic].” By “tools,” Martinez was referring not to the Barbie’s fiesta dress and pet Chihuahua, but more specifically, to the passport and sticker sheet she came with. “It is not for me to inform you about the ‘play value’ that a passport provides, so go ahead! Play with your Barbie Mexicana and don’t even think of calling her indocumentada,” Martinez wrote. While the bright pink passport isn’t specific to the Mexican Barbie (a passport comes included with all of the Barbies in the “Dolls of the World” collection, which was created in 1980) its inclusion struck a nerve among readers on sites like Twitter and Reddit. “’Mexican Barbie’: Only doll in International Collection that needs to show her passport. Unbelievable,” Twitter user @CSGRealty wrote. “Uh, #clueless? Mexican Barbie: Doll Comes With Documentation And Passport” journalist @AnneKeramer tweeted. In an interview with Fox News, Chairman and Co-founder of the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts Felix Sanchez didn’t seem to take issue with the passport, but he said that Mattel could stand to modernize their dolls and make them less stereotypical. “It would be nice to see some contemporary images from these countries,” Sanchez said. “These images seem very dated and seem to have been created for a different time.” Sara Rosales, a spokeswoman for Mattel, said that the Barbie was created to help foster learning and appreciation of different countries and cultures. “Girls enjoy exploring the world and learning about different cultures through play,” Rosales said. “The Barbie brand understands the significance of introducing new cultures to girls in a relatable way.” If all the dolls come with a passport it doesn’t seem like a huge issue, but times are definitely changing and all corporations need to come with some serious cultural sensitivity training. Do you take issue with Mexican Barbie or is this just another excuse for people to get riled up over every little thing?
You don’t see this every day: Anderson Cooper rather abruptly pulled the plug on his own interview with Sarah Burge, a.k.a. Human Barbie, almost as soon as it began. Calling her “dreadful” and nearly at a loss for words, AC couldn’t hide his disdain for Burge, the Guinness World Record holder for most plastic surgeries. We know … we thought Heidi Montag held that too. Watch the amazing clip below, in which Barbie Mom gets absolutely eviscerated by the Silver Fox and is effectively kicked off Anderson in mid-interview … Anderson Cooper CRUSHES ‘Human Barbie’ Mom Things started to unravel when Cooper was grilling Sarah Burge over allowing her teen daughter to get Botox so she’d sweat less during beauty pageants. As she tried to explain, he said, “I gotta be honest … just stop. I’m sorry. I try to be really polite to all my guests, but I just think you’re dreadful.” He added, “I honestly don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Anderson later released a video statement saying he regrets the way things ended and his decision to have her on the show in the first place. Take a look at that video clip after the jump … Anderson Cooper Regrets About Human Barbie
