Life Size Barbie

MTV released its Hottest MC list and Nicki Minaj is the first female on the list, which speaks volume for her career considering she has not yet debut her first album Pink Friday, scheduled to be in stores November 19th.  And isn’t ironic that her album is entitled Pink Friday and debuts one week before Black Friday. Is this a marketing strategy? I don’t doubt that it is but speaking of marketing, it’s no secret that Nicki Minaj has marketed and branded herself as a Barbie. Every girl has owned a Barbie at one point or another in their life time, making Nicki Minaj a relative public figure among many women and girls.
Nicki Minaj has taken being a Barbie to the next level on the cover her new album Pink Friday. The artist posed as a Barbie dressed in pink from head to toe. While I personally think the concept of the album cover is cute and rather creative, there are some issues. Her arms are not visible in the photo and her legs are ridiculously long when compared to her torso, ultimately making her look as if she was a doll laying there.
