Living in a Barbie world
What is bimbofication? And is there more to bimbos than meets the eye?
Gigantic fake boobs. Long blonde hair. A microscopic waste. Plumped up pink lips. These are the stereotypical features of a bimbo.
A slang term that historically describes an attractive, but unintelligent young woman.
However, in recent years, the term ‘bimbo’ has taken a complete turn.
Those undergoing ‘bimbofication’ – body modifications and lifestyle changes – are embracing the label positively.
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 approximately £60,000.
The end goal is a status of ultrafemininity and ‘bimbo perfection’.
This is achieved via different acts of training, conditioning, converting and surgical enhancements.
Bimbos follow their own lifestyle rules, rituals and personal standards.
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.
On PBA, Pink describes the ‘three pillars of bimbofication’ as: bimbo mindset, bimbo appearance 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’ 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 porn-inspired 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,
The cost of complete bimboficat ion is around £60,000
and the Twitter page has over 10,900 followers.
It seems that being a bimbo is not just a style of appearance, it is a way of life.
One of the most famous bimbo role models in the industry is Haley Layne.
Her blonde curled hair, 1125cc enhanced boobs and surgically enhanced bum showcase the ‘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,’ Paulina 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 bigger boobs and lips as more sexual and seductive. Consistently, it seems the bimbo beauty ideal originated from traditional Barbie and Playboy inspirations. Whilst many bimbos idolise becoming a sex symbol, for others, it is about female empowerment and projecting self-love and positivity. Youtuber and proud bimbo, Katie Monroe, promotes herself as ‘plastic positive’. ‘Do you have to be menobsessed? Do you have to be dumb? No you don’t,’ she says on her Youtube.
‘A bimbo is whoever you want to be.’
A alicia Alicia Am ara, selfproclaimed proclaimedproclaimed Bimbo Queen, aired on an episode of Botched Botched, where she hoped cosmetic surgeons could help her achieve her 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 lift, rib removal, an internal corset, and bigger boobs. ‘At one point I even thought about sowing my fingers together because that would create a dolllike hand,’ she adds. In an interview with VICE, Alicia describes bimbos as a type of fetish. ‘There are a lot of fetishes people find bizarre,’ she tells VICE. ‘This might be one of them.’ Whilst Alicia is admittedly fascinated with the bimbo appearance, she often discusses the stereotypes associated with her looks. ‘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 – 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 on ITV’S This Morning.
And stupid, she is not. Her 313,000 Instagram following has encouraged her to set up a successful clothing brand Be A Bimbo, and now she is looking into owning her own production company.
Her 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.
In the words of Alicia Amara: ‘There’s a lot more to it than just having big breasts.’
