Artist's Comments

I'm a Barbie Girl
In a Barbie World

Life in Plastic...it's fantastic.


:heart:
Model - the perfectly plastic Deb :iconv3nu5:
I could not have done this shot without her.

If you want to know how, ask me. I might just tell you.
It may be a Photo Manip, but not for obvious reasons.

Or just look at the BTS shot and you'll understand: [link]

;)

Thanks to =mrgone for the use of the floor, camera, lights, makeup, and to my girl *mishkamink for the wig, bow, sanity etc.
And thanks to Hayden for helping me destroy barbies in a most theraputic way purely for this photo.

Inspired by David Lachapelle... as well as David Lynch, Laura Palmer, Peter Koulson, and my long-running hatred of Barbie.

I see you have fully converted to Digital now :)
It was unavoidable :(
How do you find the 20D?

Not fully, but had to for this shoot as all b's equipment is geared for digital and I know sweet fa about using studio lights.
I love it. Had I the money I would buy one myself. Or the 40D. Or even the 1D. That would be sweet.

But for outside work am still a film girl, you know that ;)

Haha I love this
Humorous, good concept, and a bit frightening at the same time

I love how her arm is off

That's what I thought but this is your first upload since i rejoined DA and thought the worst :)
Unfortunately, the future seems set to become fully virtual, so i myself am going to start praying for a 1DS Mkiii to fall from the skies...
I finally got to see your TV show, many kudos to you. Jean and I were both thrilled for you.

Strange seeing you move and speak though.. now I'm forced to believe that you actually exist. Hmm...
