Mexicans have reacted with fury after the beauty queen wife of notorious drug lord El Chapo Guzman threw a lavish seventh birthday party for their twin daughters.
Emma Coronel posted pictures of the Barbie-themed bash online, featuring balloon arches, golden chandeliers, life-sized Barbie cut-outs and a huge pink cake.
But viewers were less than impressed and attacked 29-year-old Coronel for throwing the party with 'blood money' from her 61-year-old husband's drug empire.
Even the photographer who was invited to the event - and who posted images on his own Instagram - says he has fallen victim to the outrage.
Mexican drug lord El Chapo's twin daughters have just celebrated their 7th birthday with an elaborate Barbie-themed party
Emma Coronel, the wife of Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, threw the lavish birthday party for their young daughters, Emaly and Maria, in Mexico
Mexicans reacted with fury to the images, wishing that Coronel (left, with her daughters) could be reunited with her husband (right) who is currently in jail in New York
'You know that this was not possible without who knows how many deaths and tortures in Mexico, right?' one person wrote in Spanish.
Another sarcastically added: 'Pure elegance!! Pity where the money came from.
'It's amazing what a person can buy with mountains of drug money,' a third user said in English.
Another comment, aimed at Coronel, said: 'You'll be with him [El Chapo] sooner than you imagine, let's hope for his next birthday.'
El Chapo is currently languishing in isolation in a New York jail on drug charges, having been deported by Mexican authorities after an audacious escape attempts from two of their prisons.
While prosecutors have filed papers to seize $14billion of his assets, they have so far been unable to track down any of his ill-gotten gains.
Drug kingpins are experts at hiding money - embezzling it in businesses and real estate, and sometimes literally burying it in the ground.
Meanwhile the legal framework for taking control of assets bought with illegal money is in its infancy in Mexico, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The party featured an abundance of Barbie paraphernalia, including personalized water bottles
The photo of the lurid pink decorations were quick to make headlines in Mexican media
The massive party featured several different sections - all decked out heavily in pink
The outrage came as El Chapo's lawyers had a request to delay the start of his trial rejected by a judge.
Jury selection in the case is due to begin on November 5, but attorneys representing Guzman had asked for more time to review the evidence.
But U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan refused to delay the trial any further, having already pushed it back by two months in July.
A lawyer for Guzman, Jeffrey Lichtman, said the defense team is faced with processing a 'gargantuan' amount of material before the trial starts.
'I am disappointed we did not get more time but as the judge said, you never feel that you are totally ready in a trial of this magnitude,' Lichtman said. 'We deal with the hand that we're dealt.'
A ballroom with a chandelier was redesigned to be a giant pink Barbie Dreamhouse, complete with pink cakes, candy and a large Barbie neon sign
Life-size Barbie cut outs features heavily as part of the party's pink inspired decor
Hundreds of pink balloons lined the archway leading to the lavish birthday party
Guzman, who was extradited to the U.S. last year, has pleaded not guilty to charges that his cartel laundered billions of dollars and oversaw a ruthless campaign of murders and kidnappings.
He faces life in prison if convicted at a trial that could last several weeks.
Authorities have kept Guzman in solitary confinement, mindful that he has twice escaped from prison in Mexico.
The second time, it was via a mile-long tunnel dug to the shower in his cell.
Lichtman called his client 'a mythical character that they are trying as if it was the only drug dealer in the world.'
The lawyer officially joined the defense team after Guzman waived any potential conflict of interest the lawyer may have in connection with witnesses in the case.
He's known for successfully defending John 'Junior' Gotti, son of the notorious organized crime family boss, at a 2005 trial.
The younger Gotti walked free after an acquittal on a securities fraud count and a mistrial on more serious racketeering counts.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
