Nicki Minaj Wallpaper

Given Lil’ Kim’ Nicki Minaj  s own remarks about her physica l insecurities, it’s hard not to read this 2011 promotional photograph as Nicki Minaj  tapping into Barbie’s white aesthetics Nicki Minaj 

Even the pink Nicki Minaj   Mattel-style sticker in the corner hints at her beauty’s Nicki Minaj  commercial appeal. In a Newsweek interview with Allison Nicki Minaj  Samuels, she discussed how her blonde hair, blue contacts, breast implants, and rumored nose job and skin-lightening treatments Nicki Minaj all stemmed from the Nicki Minaj  cultural feedback that Nicki Minaj received about her appearance.Nicki Minaj 

I have low self-esteem and I always have,” Nicki Minaj says. ‘Guys always cheated on me with women who   Nicki Minaj were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Nicki Minaj 

Really beautiful Nicki Minaj  women that left me thinking, ‘How I can I compete with that?’ Nicki Minaj  Being a regular black girl wasn’t good enough.’ And the implants? ‘That Nicki Minaj  surgery was the most pain I’ve ever been in my life,’ Nicki Minaj  says Kim. ‘But people Nicki Mina j made such a big deal about it. White Nicki Minaj  women get them every day. It was to make me look the way I wanted to look. It’s my body.’”Nicki Minaj

On one hand, this quote Nicki Minaj  lends credence to the argument that the Barbie Nicki Minaj label appeals to Lil’ Kim (and perhaps other black Nicki Minaj  female rappers as well) Nicki Minaj because the doll Nicki Minaj represents “European-looking,” “long-haired” beauty and femininity. Nicki Minaj 

On the Nicki Minaj  other hand, Lil’ Kim makes the Nicki Minaj  valid argument that her body is her own, and she has a right to do with it as she pleases. This is certainly true Nicki Minaj 

However, it also Nicki Minaj  seems unlikely that she would have chosen Nicki Minaj  to make these specific changes if she lived in a culture that sent more positive Nicki Minaj   messages to African-American women. Nicki Minaj
