Barbie WTF.

While shopping on KB Toys for Christmas, I found these:

Barbie Best Models: South Beach Barbie Doll

Barbie Best Models: Monte Carlo Barbie Doll

Now, I'm by no means conservative, but WTF?? I couldn't even tell if these were Barbies or real people. Some photographer at Mattel went waaaaay overboat in setting up these shots. Seriously. Look how the South Beach Barbie has her ankles crossed. And Monte Carlo Barbie has accessories. I want to know what photographer, who probably went to photojournalism school and planned to shoot hair-lips in Cambodia with Doctors Without Borders or hoped to serve on the front lines in Iraq with the AP, ended up doing this.

Because, dude? This cannot have been your dream.

Or it's a photographer with a Barbie doll fetish? After seeing some of the odd birds on the DIS, this would not surprise me! ;)

you got it, my friend. We had tons of fun over at the UnDIS snarking on him. Seems the man/child has a more adult way of posting elsewhere.

After watching a Dean and Tori: Inn Love, though, Ed wondered if the person buying my adult Tigger costume from eBay was a 'plushie'. Good for giggles with that thought.

Actually, all the photoj kids here want to do is take black-and-white pictures of smokestacks and fences or, yeah, fashion photography.
