Barbie and Christian Louboutin's Paris Tryst Exposed!

By Laura Yacoe

Ever since Barbie and Christian Louboutin teamed up for a lucrative shoe campaign, it's been body image issues galore. After being named the mini-fashion icon's godfather, Christian caused a bit of tiff when he pointed out the chub on her centimeter-sized feet. We get that the red-sole-master has a bit of a foot fetish, but we're hoping he takes it easy when filing down her cankles. After all, it seems that Christian and Barbie are having sort of a thing as demonstrated in these images from their book "My Year in Paris with Christian Louboutin." The duo shops together, lounges together, and breaks into buildings together in matching catsuits and spiked shoes. They're a strange couple—there's no denying that—and judging from the look on Christian's face as he spots Barbie cavorting with the better-coiffed Ken, Barbie might have a little more to worry about than her ankle issue.
