In a Barbie World

I don't know why, but I keep stumbling on many various Barbie related news posts. I suppose Barbie is having a fashion moment after hosting S/S 2010 Fashion Week and turning 5o this year (If you are at all inclined please find the Christian Louboutin and Barbie Art book online, it is hilarious). Even more strange at this junction in my life is that I know a few people who are all about Barbie and collecting and making things for her. So in honor of those two bizarre coincidences I've decided to post this series of Barbie's turned into famous art works, seeing as I, too, am an artiste. Can I tell you a secret? While I'm no collector and don't wish to be, I do have a series of fashion sketches of Barbie in great vintage pieces hanging in my closet...


P.S. I love the Girl in a Pearl Earring, Venus di Milo, and Nefertiti Barbie's a lot.
