Given Lil’ Kim’s own Nicki Minaj  remarks about her physical niki minaj  insecurities, it’s hard not to read this 2011 promotional photograph as Nicki Minaj tapping into Barbie’s white aesthetics. Nicki Minaj

Yet perhaps Kim’s clearly Nicki Minaj  altered appearance is part of the photograph’s Nicki Minaj  point. Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj  frequently challenge the idea Nicki Minaj  of natural beauty in their self-presentations. Nicki Minaj 

They don over-the-top Nicki Minaj  costumes and brightly colored wigs Nicki Minaj  that show they’re playing Nicki Minaj  with their appearance–much as young girls  might play Nicki Minaj  with their dolls. In so doing, they make the labor of beauty  visible and weird Nicki Minaj 

Barbie may Nicki Minaj  appeal to them because Nicki Minaj , too, stands for a Nicki Minaj  particularly artificial and constructed kind of beauty. After Nicki Minaj  all, she’s a doll whose measurements would prevent Nicki Minaj  her from walking upright if she were real.Nicki Minaj 

Minaj’s Pink Friday Nicki Minaj  cover art deploys exaggerated Barbie Nicki Minaj  imagery in order to call attention to the artificiality of her appearance. One Nicki Minaj  outstretched leg, shiny as plastic, is more than double the length of her torso Nicki Minaj 

Nicki Minaj  has no arms, and her breasts are thrust so Nicki Minaj  high they cover her collarbone. These out-of-whack proportions Nicki Minaj  and missing limbs communicate the impossibility Nicki Minaj  of the femininity she embodies Nicki Minaj 

 

Meanwhile, her Nicki Minaj  vacant expression—eyes wide and dull, Nicki Minaj  pink lips in an expressionless pout—suggests not a doll Nicki Minaj  come to life but a life-size doll, revealing the non-transferable nature of the Barbie ideal.Nicki Minaj
