Of chinchillas, toy dogs, Baby Phat, Barbie, and objectification.
This Kimora Lee Barbie makes me ill. The worst part is that they refer to her (real life) dog as the "cutest accessory". And no, they didn't mean that in the "some accessories sold separately" sense. The dog is Kimora Lee's accessory.

I'm sick of celebrities encouraging the objectification of animals and their own sex (in the case of females). And even though I don't have much of an opinion on fur, I think the "faux" chinchilla in this outfit is uncalled for. It's obviously a warm weather ensemble, so the coat comes off as a tacky status symbol. Maybe I find this so offensive because I've read Leigh's blog post about adorable rescue chinchillas.

Agh, there's just so much wrong with that doll.

that's not a warm-weather ensemble, that's a prostitute ensemble.

*sigh*

More small yappy dogs in shelters because little girls OMGjustHAD to have one like Barbie's, and parents had less brains than money. If I get through that Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie without throttling someone about it, it'll be a miracle.

As for chinchillas:

I absolutely love faux fur but hate faux fur that imitates real fur. What's the point if people still think you're a tasteless bitch? Animals have their own beautiful fur; I can be beautiful in another way. Besides there are such WONDERFUL things one can do with the colors of faux fur; why waste it with boring imitations?

I really despise the current trend of seeing babies and small animals as accessories. :-/
