fashion Mattel madness Heidi Montag rivals Barbie as a poor influence on girls A€tAR PALAS REMANAGENS Za Heidi Montag By Stephanie Trembath, Fashion Editor ubiquitous and symbolic figure AX every little girl’s childhood, hich has evolved to come in all sorts of ethnicities and ages, is Mattel’s infamous Barbie. The original blonde- haired, blue-eyed babe first appeared with an 18’ waist and stood 5 foot 9. In 1963 Barbie was sold with a book entitled How to Lose Weight which advised “Don’t eat,” and was later accompanied by a small pink bathroom scale which claimed that 110 pounds was the ideal body mass. However, by 1997, huge controversies surrounding Mattel’s doll and the major health and body image issues Barbie promotedMattel to create a wider waistline and more contemporary fashion designs. After surviving harsh criticism and recent competition from the Bratz Dolls, Barbie has someone new to contend with in 2010. This newer version of Barbie walks, talks, shops, and comes equipped with her own small toy poodles and even Ken! She’s the ultimate life-sized doll with blonder hair and smaller thighs; even guys like to play with her! With a chin reduction and fat injections to her cheeks and lips this Barbie’s smile is bigger and better! A mini brow lift and Botox injections allow for tighter skin and less creases in her fake tan! Complimentary nose job and face lift show off her shapely Angelina Jolie cheek bones and highlight 10 her profile! All-over-body liposuction in addition to butt augmentation makes this doll the skinniest ever so she can eat whatever she wants! The best part; her sized DDD cup breasts outdo any Mattel or Bratz doll! This Barbie is a bit pricier than Mattel’s typical toy; at $30,000 in new- and-improved procedures, this Barbie is set to launch her own album in addition to her TV show in order to cover her addiction to plastic surgery and shopping. Her album titled “Superficial” is explicitly representative of everything this doll encompasses. With a broad shouldered, tanned skinned male version of Ken to attend all the A-list celebrity parties with, this life-sized Barbie has nothing to worry about. At only 23, she has her whole life ahead of her to carve, nip, tuck, dye, and enlarge; not even Mattel can keep up with this brazen babe. Her triple D cup breasts make her most desirable to men, so she has marketed herself well in targeting both genders. A famous quote by this new Barbie is that she wants the “Best me possible” in her obsession with herself. Mattel is so 2009 and Bratz are extremely passé. This year, young girls everywhere will be vomiting up their food, pouring copious amounts of chemicals onto their skin, and saving their waitressing tips to buy the Heidi Montag boobs. And we thought a doll that quipped “Math is hard” was a bad influence. modera musef Canadian actress the most desirable woman of 2010 By Stephanie Trembath, Fashion Editor | eading ladies such as Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightly, and Penelope Cruz are among the top European actresses who remain seductive yet classy. American girls, who include Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, and Megan Fox, exude so much glamour and confidence that their sex appeal is primarily based on the ability to outdo their competition and wow their audience. Canadian ladies have a slightly different approach, which is probably why Canada’s own Emmanuelle Chriqui made it to number one on Askmen.com’s Most Desirable Women list of 2010. When asked “What does the modern man look for in his ideal companion?” over 6 million male readers on AskMen. com polled for Little Miss Emmanuelle from Montreal, Quebec. Easy going, modest, and reminiscent of an older and slightly less complicated Hollywood, Emmanuelle Chriqui made the hot list due to her subtle self-assurance, teasing good humour, and exotic Moroccan features. Known as the svelte brunette beauty from HBO’s Entourage, Chriqui plays Eric’s on and off girlfriend Sloan, who most men say is the “perfect girlfriend.” Chriqui’s character is playful, cute, and constantly looking out for Eric, which are a few characteristics that Chriqui plays so easily that many men find attractive. This year Chriqui is currently working on Elektra Luxx, which is the sequel to the Hollywood film Women in Trouble written and directed by Sebastian. Gutierrez.
