The Amy Winehouse Barbie Doll
BARBIE is 50 years of age, and having been reworked in much plastic, the super-skinny role model for millions of mums and daughters, and some sons and dads (you know who you are), takes a break from eating – she’s mad for food! – to get some tattoo ink, like Amy Winehouse.

Enjoy the video. It is beyond parody.
And loo out for: the reporter on the wings (nothing creepy there), the bearded inkologist called Michael Hair (nominative determinalism) and a report trying to eke sensation from a sticker by way of medical expert opinion and worried mums.
