(Newser) – A Christian Louboutin makeover of the Barbie doll is going further than just the clothes. “He found her ankles were too fat,” said a Louboutin spokeswoman. At least one of his dolls should be ready for the next Cannes film festival in May, Women's Wear Daily reports. "They're completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes."

Nooooo! I got the first Barbie. And she is perfect. Bite my ass stupid cankle idea. That is a surgeon wanting to make a few thousand off an ankle. I had a surgeon like that when I got a wicked mole off my face. He was great, but he talked me into lipoing my ass for some indents and feathering my tummy for a six pack. He neglected to tell me that if I ever gained ten pounds it would go straight to my back--there were no fat cells left. Seriously, if I go like all pizza for a few days--I look like a linebacker. Wicked doctor. You can hide fat on your butt--try doing it on your shoulder.
