Meet one of Instagram’s most popular new users
Like the rest of us Socality Barbie is just trying to live her most “authentic” life on Instagram. Unlike the rest of us though, she’s amassed half a million followers in just over 12 weeks. And, unlike many of us, her claim to Instagram fame isn’t that she takes her account seriously. Au contraire.
This Barbie has risen to fame by poking fun at the photos that populate Instagram; hipsters boasting about their “authentic” and “adventurous” lives spent gazing at mountains, drinking cold-drip coffee and kayaking while being #grateful and feeling #blessed. Photos and posts that, if we’re being honest, we’re all guilty of sharing.

I love this SO MUCH! Only pic missing? A shot with Barbie looking down, clad in a singlet, a big wooly cardi and tiny knickers (oh-so-sunday-morning chic), one arm resting by her side and the other raised, slightly tousling her hair. You know, really candid. Literally every fifth photo on my insta feed.
I'm so anti-social, I had to look up what socality is! This is hilarious. The irony of highlighting the paradox of authenticity with a plastic model. Wait, is she really plastic or is she more real in what has become our unreal world of virtual reality? What percentage is plastic vs real? I know that's a politically incorrect question but does anyone even care what is and what isn't real anymore? And which is more acceptable, plastic boobs or plastic morals?
