8 times that Barbie's Instagram was the weirdest thing on the internet.

She has better clothes than you, a nicer car, and over 700k followers.

Barbie has an Instagram.

Yes. Barbie. The disproportionally perfect, plastic play-thing that filled your childhood has a page where she shares here ‘fashion choices’ and ‘daily adventures’. Mmmhm.

While you’re at the office, walking the dogs, saving lives or picking up Fred from grandma’s house, chances are Barbie is doing something way more exciting than you. Or rather, some dude named Herman is struggling to get her tiny plastic feet into the perfect tiny plastic shoes in order to position her as though she is at a ‘business meeting.’

So you don’t miss out on the action packed life of everyone’s favourite plastic model/vet/singer/fighter pilot, we’ve compiled a list of the 8 times that Barbie’s Instagram was the weirdest thing on the internet.

1. That time she went to Coachella.

Along with every superstar and irritatingly beautiful person in the world, Barbie attended the world’s coolest music festival last week.

Well, as a doll at a music festival at least she wouldn’t have to worry about the toilet queues.

2. Hanging out with real people at Paris Fashion Week.

Actual people, smiling, pretending to talk to a doll while someone takes a photo in order to share it with thousands of people.

I just… I can’t… Oh bless.

3. Going for runs.

Is this supposed to make me feel like a terrible person? Because it does.

Like it’s not hard enough do drag my head and its accompanying drool off the pillow to go to the gym in the morning, I now have to be guilted into it by a DOLL! Her knees don’t even bend and she can do it. Jesus.

Also, she’s lost the cap on the water bottle. Also: She has a water bottle.

4. She took her dog for a walk.

In a dress and heals.

There is enough wrong with this notion already. For God’s sake at least put her in  a tracksuit and a pair of Dunlop volleys. She is not dressed to be picking up pooch poop. Also, no poop sacks.

5. Attended a dress ‘fitting’

A dress fitting. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS – ALL HER CLOTHES ARE THE SAME SIZE!

6. She ‘flew’ from L.A to Europe

In leather pants no less.

How pissed off would you be if you got on a plane, and hoped and hoped that you might have an empty seat next to you for a 14 hour flight, and then…

7. She took part in Throw Back Thursday

It is an Instagram tradition that usually features cute childhood photos from way back, or from that party last week where your shapewear was really working for you and you felt a million bucks.

Barbie doesn’t age, or change. Ever.

8. That time she took a selfie in Paris.

Because human’s taking photos of themselves to share with strangers over the internet isn’t a bizarre enough concept to begin with.

 

Here are a collection of Barbie’s happy snaps (post continues after gallery)

I think this is an important point to pause for thought.

PEOPLE GET PAID FOR THIS. There is a person out there, in the world somewhere, whose job it is to take photos of Barbie in ‘real life’ situations. It is probably another person’s job to edit those photos, and another’s to think of the witty captions to accompany her adventures.

Apparently G.I Jane and Sasha Bratz are going to be the next to enter the ‘gramming world. Cindy was unavailable for comment but we hear she’s a little miffed at being style-snubbed.

What are your thoughts on non-human instagrams? Would you have one for a doll?
