Katie Loveday says she has dressed exclusively in pinkfor as long as she can remember.
A 'real life' Barbie models her outfits, car and home on the famous doll - but fears her obsession will stop her finding love.
The 18-year-old took a break from wearing all pink in high school - where she felt like she should dress like her friends and other students to fit in. “I had all the limited edition dolls - like the Dream Wedding Barbie and the one which came with the pink car. I dressed them up in all pink. Mum noticed my obsession and would always buy me pink clothes, as she loves it, too.”
"Once I’d finished school and become a more independent person, I realised I didn’t actually look good in any of those clothes - I was just wearing what I thought other people wanted me to wear. “If I’m out shopping my eyes just naturally draw to pink things - there’s no point trying to wear anything else," she said. "I shop online for new bits every single day - I have ‘new collection’ alerts on so many of my apps and have even managed to adjust it so it’s only pink clothing.However Katie does fear her love life will be negatively affected by her appreciation of all things Barbie.
