Bimbofication
Meet the women who want to be in a Barbie world
Gigantic fake boobs. Long blonde hair. A microscopic waist. Plumped pink lips. These are the stereotypical features of a bimbo.
A slang term that historically describes a stereotypically attractive but unintelligent young woman.
In recent years, the term ‘bimbo’ has taken a complete turn.
The women undergoing ‘bimbofication’ – body modifications and lifestyle changes – are embracing the label.
Leading bimbo blog, Pink Bimbo Academy, describes ‘bimbofication’ as the process of permanently transforming a female into a bimbo.
The cost of ‘complete bimbofication’ is around £60,000.
The end goal is a status of ultrafemininity and ‘bimbo perfection’.
This is achieved via different acts of training, conditioning, converting, surgical enhancements and following lifestyle rules, rituals and standards.
It seems being a bimbo now represents an identity.
There are over 49,000 Instagram posts under #bimbofication – and they’re growing, fast.
Scrolling through photos of cleavages, baby pink clothing, piercings and tattoos, you’ll find a whole niche market.
Pink Bimbo Academy (PBA) is run by a man who calls himself ‘Pink’ and claims his purpose is to train women into becoming bimbos.
He provides curriculums and courses for beginners, ranging from fashion tips to sex advice.
Pink describes the ‘three pillars of bimbofication’ as:
bimbo mindset, bimbo appearance
The complete cost of bimbofication is around £60,000
and bimbo behaviour.
To have the bimbo mindset, a girl must adopt stereotypical feminine traits and accept her own sexual desires.
A bimbo’s appearance is deemed ‘the most important pillar’ of the three and ‘the one and true reason why most men love bimbo dolls’.
Thirdly, Pink explains bimbo behaviour as ‘performing like a porn star’ and making ‘every expression appeal as feminine, sexy and elegant as possible’.
Pink focuses heavily on porninspired sex, male desire and heterosexuality.
One blog post, titled ‘A bimbo is NEVER completely naked’, describes how a bimbo will always wear heavy makeup, sparkling jewellery, and high heels, even when they are completely nude.
The PBA blog is visited by thousands every single month, and the PBA Twitter page has over 18,700 followers.
It seems that being a bimbo is not just a style of appearance, it is also a way of life.
One famous bimbo role model in the industry is Hayley Lane. Her blonde curled hair, 1125cc enhanced boobs and surgically enhanced bum showcase the typical ‘plastic positive’ bimbo mindset.
Paulina J.candy is another successful bimbo, whose obsession with the beauty ideal began at a young age. ‘I’ve always dreamed to
have a perfect body like a Barbie doll,’ she told the Daily Mail. ‘When I was younger, MTV promoted Playboy episodes and I fell in love with the whole
Playboy lifestyle,’ she said.
Paulina perceives her bigger boobs and lips to be more sexual and seductive.
Consistently, it seems the bimbo beauty ideal originated from Barbie and Playboy inspirations.
Whilst many bimbos idolise becoming a sex symbol, for others, it is about female empowerment and projecting positivity.
Youtuber and proud bimbo, Katie Monroe, promotes herself as being ‘plastic positive’.
‘Do you have to be men-obsessed? Do you have to be dumb? No you don’t,’ she says on her Youtube.
‘A bimbo is whoever you want to be.’
Alicia Amira, selfproclaimed Bimbo Queen, aired on an episode of Botched, where she hoped doctors could help her achieve her ultimate goal of ‘looking like a sex doll’.
‘I don’t want to be an airhead, but to look like a male fantasy,’ she said.
Alicia discussed her plans for a Brazilian butt Anyone can own a studio
lift, rib removal, an internal corset, and bigger boobs. ‘At one point I even thought about sewing my fingers together because that would create a dolllike hand,’ she adds.
In an interview with VICE, Alicia describes bimbofication as a type of fetish.
‘There a lot of fetishes people find bizarre,’ she tells VICE.
‘This might be one of them,’ she says.
Whilst Alicia is admittedly fascinated with the appearance of a bimbo, she often discusses the stereotypes associated with her bimbo appearance.
‘People assume that because you’re into bimbofication, you also work in the sex industry,’ she told VICE.
‘But those two things have nothing to do with each other.’
Whilst Alicia uses her sexuality and appearance to make porn and earn a living – she states that is a separate dream.
‘My aim is to show people that you don’t have to be stupid to be a bimbo,’ she said live on ITV’S This Morning.
And stupid, she is not.
Her 327,000 Instagram following has encouraged her to set up a successful clothing brand Be A Bimbo, and now she is looking into owning her own video production company.
Her mass following and fame cannot be denied, even by her many haters.
‘I want to encourage women everywhere to be confident enough to take ownership of their own sexuality and to embrace their femininity,’ she told This Morning.
She believes a highly sexual woman seems to terrify men and governments alike.
Many bimbos, like Alicia, deem themselves as feminists.
Being a bimbo is a choice, and seemingly, a way of life. Evidently, among the sexualisation, extreme plastic surgery and strict lifestyle regulations, there is a drive for female power and self-control within the bimbo community.
And in the words of the famous Alicia Amira: ‘There’s a lot more to it than just having big breasts.’
