Hipster Barbie exists, and she has her very own perfectly filtered Instagram (of course)

Barbie: she’s always keeping up with the times.

And if that means getting on Instagram and copying all the hipstery, super *authentic* posts shared by fitness and fashion bloggers, that’s what she’ll do, damnit. And she’ll do it better than everyone else.

Presenting SocalityBarbie, the new Barbie edition for the modern hipster age.

She shares the same kind of stuff as all the people you hate-follow: super picturesque perfectly posed hikes, latte art, and photos of her travels, all while perfectly dressed in a curated – but oh-so-effortless – outfit.

The Instagram account’s creator, who prefers to stay anonymous, told metro.co.uk that she was inspired to start the project after seeing the same old stuff over and over again, all over Instagram.

‘I couldn’t help noticing a strong presence of people on instagram who were taking the same “authentic” images.

‘It started to become extremely difficult to tell all of their images apart.

‘I wanted to make a point but without putting myself in the images. I thought using a Barbie would be the perfect way to do that.’

SocalityBarbie is now pretty much the ultimate source of Instagram inspiration, with perfectly filtered photos (using hipster app of choice VSCO cam, obvs) of her dream life.

It’s like classic Barbie has grown up, got with the times, and started a whole new life of freedom and cool hats.

Part of that means skipping the classic Ken doll in favour of someone with a bit more edge.

Her perfect man, the account’s creator told us, would be ‘all about man buns [and] beards, and he would probably be a barista/model.’

‘There is no wifi in the forest, but I promise you will find a better connection.’ (Picture: Instagram/socalitybarbie)

Her favourite things right now are ‘photographing her coffee with her Kinfolk magazine and holding up her ice cream in front of pretty walls’.

‘Cuz holding your ice cream up to a wall turns it into art.’ (Picture: Instagram/socalitybarbie)

But life isn’t just plastic. It’s fantastic.

The account does have a greater message, about our carefully curated social media selves.

‘It’s kind of a bummer what instagram has turned in to. It’s no longer a place where we share real moments anymore.

‘Most of the images you see are well planned out and made too look 100x prettier than they actually are.

‘Great things never come from comfort zones.’ (Picture: Instagram/socalitybarbie)

‘The life thats portrayed through instagram doesn’t look anything like the one they are actually living.’

‘Rough draft. Book coming soon!’ (Picture: Instagram/socalitybarbie)
