Does Barbie have 'cankles'?
According to Christian Louboutin, vertiginous boot designer and unholy scourge of folk who occur apt own feet, yeah, she does. The story broke a pair of weeks antecedent and we dismissed it for a storm in a doll-sized teacup, but immediately we've had a rethink. Just because we preferred My Little Pony, it doesn't average we shouldn't bound to Barbie's defence in this controversial issue.
Poor age Barbie. In the past she's been bombarded as many reasons: too svelte and ill-proportioned (we were too busy poking at the blank canvas of her nether districts and melting her hair to notification), not aspirational ample as youth supple minds (seriously? These doubters absence to check out Wonder Woman Barbie,
herve leger paris store!), and no representative of entire the world's people (we mention don't forget Sumatra-Indonesia Barbie), amid other things.
It's true that 44 years ago Barbie wasn't very so right-on. In 1965, Slumber Party Barbie was sold with a leaflet entitled How to cut corners, namely told young girls 'not to eat'. Even today, a quick see by Mattel's website - the plaything corporation that created Barbie - reveals a toy that looks suspiciously like Amy Winehouse - not the greatest role prototype because a girl.
But nothing, NOTHING Barbie has done deserves Christian Louboutin's slur on her physique.
According to the industry magazine Womenswear Daily,

The offending expression came while Christian Louboutin talked about customizing his doll:
"She needed great shoes, a thinner ankle and, to me, as I'm obsessed with feet, a foot more bent," the designer said. Clarifying his point later, Louboutin explained that he was merely considering about the technical aspects of shoemaking.
"Barbie's foot has forever been fashioned fewer 'curvy' than the repose of her perfect physique," he said. "I fair added my tiny science to Barbie and I've been elated to serve her. But portly ankles she didn't have, she just could have had thinner ankles. That's all."
