Christian Louboutin thinks Barbie's ankles are "too fat".
The famous shoe designer has created three special versions of the iconic doll as part of her 50th anniversary celebrations but has decided her legs needed a little work.
His spokeswoman said "They're completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes. But he found her ankles were too fat."
Earlier this year, Christian - whose shoes retail for up to 1,500 pounds - designed a pair of pumps in the legendary Barbie Pantone 219 Pink, with the shoes making their debut at a special runway show during New York Fashion Week in February.
He said: "Barbie needs to wear great shoes because every girl needs to wear great shoes. I guess I always had a little 'girlie side' who liked Barbie."
Fans of Christian's shoes - which have the famous red soles - include Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker and Katie Holmes, whose three-year-old daughter Suri has several children's pairs.

I think this is hilarious!! Especially interesting are the posts. Personally I don't see a problem with variety.
Isn't anyone else freaked about that horrendous Bratz doll next to Barb!? And we buy things things for our kids!!
Some say men are to blame for this unrealistic ideal body shape imposed upon women. However, a good portion of men openly prefer the larger more voluptuous women, and in some cultures this is the norm.
I think that it is the fashion industry that has got hold of a more historical Victorian attitude towards fat women and in order to save costs in materials and sell product have further imposed on us this unrealistic ideal.
Bring on Fat Barbie with cellulite and a muffin top !

Never mind that she has the equivalent of 4'6" long legs and a head with the circumference of a watermelon.
Fat ankles are the least of this sideshow's worries.
Sort of interesting that idea of fashion changed from fitting the garment to the wearer to fitting the wearer to the garment.
That dress makes her bum look big. But I always thought she needed to put on a few Kgs
Would be more impressed if he'd included concern about the excessive (based on 'normal' proportions, which even hobby dressmakers know off by heart) mammaries and femurs. And scuse me, isn't he one of those shoe designers who can't even figure out how long toes are and so design so they are covered up? Once again, proof that all sensible people avoid Barbie!!
People really need to stop complaining about the news articles, nobody forced you to go on this website or read the articles. Good on you Stuff for bringing some humour to reporting!
