Skinny Barbies and Fat Barbies

Watching last week's Raw and Smackdown I can't help but wonder why exactly Kelly Kelly is feuding with Beth Phoenix and Natalya. Sure, on TV and on Twitter, all three ladies have pushed the idea that Beth and Natalya are real women and not skinny barbies. Problem is, other than weight, there's little difference between the three.
Clearly, all three are blond and beautiful. Strangely, both Beth and Natalya, when not wrestling, dress very similar to Kelly (dresses, expensive shoes). The girls even wear bright colored lipstick. I'm not quite sure how they can claim to be so different from Kelly when they're clearly told to be the same.
WWE won't allow their women to be different outside of hair color. That makes feuds like this utterly ridiculous. In fact, you can boil this feud down to Skinny Barbie vs. Fat Barbie. That's basically what Michael Cole said on commentary last Friday when he called Beth and Natalya "full-figured women," which as any man knows is code for fat chicks.
Perhaps if Beth and Natalya weren't instructed to dress and look like Kelly this feud would make sense. Instead, it's three hot chicks fighting over whether it's better to be fat or skinny. Ironically, last time they did this fat vs. skinny feud, the face was the "fat" one (Mickie James). Now, the "fat" chicks are the heels. Either way, it's all about looks with WWE.
It's quite sad.

For the record I don't think Beth, Natalya or Mickie are/were fat. WWE wants you to think so.
