doll photos, barbie

my sister showed me pictures from this photo session she did when i last saw her. i used to have a roommate who had a fish tank with creepy doll parts in it, and it's been somewhat of a joke and an interest ever since. anyway, i really like some of these images, and i also admire people who can vamp it up for the camera; my relationship with a camera is that i just ignore it, and i often look distracted or i'm blinking or have my mouth open weird or who knows what in pictures. my sister is "the pretty one" ;). i'm not saying this to fish for compliments ... i think it's just obvious that, while i *can* look good, i'm awkward and uncomfortable. it may be part of my charm, but there it is.

i don't think i've ever mentioned it here before, but i also really like this photographer's "dolls and toys" series.






she's wearing more makeup than she normally does, but it's a photo-shoot! i think she's stunning. i have a tendency to be put off of people who are too confident, but just because i'm not doesn't mean others shouldn't be. she and i often talk crafts when we're together; we're not all that different, but i do rifle through her trash to rescue recyclables when i see her.
















there are more photos in that series in my flickr account, click on a photo if you want a look.

on a related note, my friend leital has a dream job. she works for a radio show. she had a story on this week's show about an americon icon: barbie. to hear it, go to studio 360 and click on the little headphones near the word Barbie. i especially like the term "barbie-defiler".
