Barbie is a doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in 1960. Barbie is still manufactured today and still has a strong hold on the toy company. However, young girls have been given a new Barbie doll to look up too. Rapper Nicki Minaj has revitalized the vision of Barbie.
Nicki Minaj's body could be described as the perfect "Coke Bottle." She is unrealistically curvy with a small waist, large breast, and an even larger backside, none of which are natural. Nicki Minaj has had plastic surgery numerous times on her body and also her face. She refers to herself as Barbie, a figure that young girls have looked up to for years. Young girls are looking at Nicki Minaj and seeing something that is almost impossible to achieve. She is showing an image that is impracticable. The toy-company Mattel Inc. is encouraging Nicki Minaj's message and in 2011, a Barbie doll resembling the rap star was manufactured.
The Barbie doll will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to charity. The estimated value of the doll is about $15,000.
