The pink-haired plastic harlot has a chest plastered with flowers, a geisha on her arm, a dragon on her back and a tiger on her neck and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/18/tokidokis-tattooed-barbie_n_1018598.html" target="_blank">clearly,</a> she&#8217;s &#8220;teaching kids to want tattoos before they are old enough to dress like that!&#8221;<span id="more-164883"></span></p>
<p>Chill, breeders. This doll is only available via Mattel&#8217;s website, meaning if your little babies are old enough to use the internet, they&#8217;re old enough to deal with &#8220;Barbies with tattoos all over&#8221; and little leopard tights and mini-skirts or what not. Moreover, unlike the &#8220;controversial&#8221; <a href="http://www.sweetdreamscreations.1shoppal.com/i/barbie/tatoo_barbie.jpg" target="_blank">Totally Stylin’ Barbie</a> of 2009 which came with stick-on tattoos, this chick&#8217;s tats are permanent. Like in real life! It&#8217;s educational.<em> (Barbie n00dz: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/-twisty-/6154086992/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Twisty</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/shellysblogger/6151429932/" target="_blank">Shelly S</a>)</em></p>

<p>These two internet stars convene in Tompkins Square Park and give their friend a new tattoo with a gun made out of a pen and a computer motor. The odds of this going viral is 1:1.</p>

<p>Kimberley Vlaeminck, the girl who <a href="http://animalnewyork.com/2009/06/teenage-girl-sues-tattoo-artist-to-save-face/">claimed her face was tattooed with 56 stars while she slept</a>, has confessed to making up the incredulous story. The 18-year-old Belgian girl insisted she requested 3 stars tattooed on her face, fell asleep during the needle jabbing procedure and woke up with a veritable constellation. Vlaeminck then blamed the tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz for misunderstanding her request and threatened to sue for $20k, the cost of the laser tattoo removal. Last week she said, &#8220;It is terrible for me. I cannot go out on to the street. I look like a freak.&#8221;<span id="more-20181"></span></p>
<p>Now the self-loathing tattoo enthusiast <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/belgium/5603769/Girl-with-56-stars-tattooed-on-face-admits-she-asked-for-them.html">has admitted she was fully awake</a> while Toumaniantz inked her face, saying, &ldquo;I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them, but when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and the that the tattooist mad made a mistake.&#8221;</p>

Now she&rsquo;s suing Romanian tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz for $14,000, the cost of laser surgery to remove her naptime mistake. </p>
<p>In addition to the dubious claim that she slept while the sensitive nerves of her face were being prodded with a needle, conspiracy theorists point to other facts they say suggest the whole thing is one big publicity stunt.<span id="more-19793"></span> </p>
<p>Among the few media outlets to interview the starlet is <a href="http://www.mnm.be/tags/Kimberley+Vlaeminck">Belgian radio station MNM</a>, who&rsquo;s advertising agency, <a href="http://famous.be/">Famous</a>, is behind the <a href="http://www.toputourworkon.com/thekimberlizer/">Kimberlizer</a>. A <a href="http://www.dhnet.be/infos/faits-divers/article/268813/le-buzz-kimberley-est-il-un-fake.html">French newspaper</a> says the website, which allows visitors to digitally place 56 stars on their face via webcam, was opened in April, well before the story happened. Additionally, <a href="http://www.clint.be/nieuws/is-sterrenmeisje-stunt-van-mnm&#038;prev">theorists point out</a> that MNM&rsquo; s logo is a star, just like the ones covering Kimberley Vlaeminck. </p>
