Barbie's Ankles Too Fat for Louboutins

Christian Louboutin thinks Ken's better half is carrying some extra padding in her ankles.
Louboutin -- the latest fashion designer to give the plastic icon a makeover (others have included Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Sui and Givenchy) -- has revamped three Barbies from "top to toe," reports WWD.
"They're completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes," a Louboutin spokeswoman told the paper.
And apparently he's spending a little extra time retooling her plastic cankles (or is it "Bankles?"). "He found her ankles were too fat," the Louboutin spokeswoman told WWD.
We asked fashion stylist and fashion director of NYLON magazine, J. Errico how he'd style our favorite doll to help reduce the appearance of her so-called problem area.
"If Barbie wants to divert attention away from her ankles, she should avoid booties or anything with ankle straps," he says. "However, any girl -- plastic or not -- would be mad not to take advice from Mr. Louboutin."
We wonder if Mattel would agree.

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.
