Proof That Since the Dawn of Time Women Wanted to Have a Barbie Doll Figure

Okay so I put my face on the Barbie*.  I cannot remember where I found the carved piece which has been cut out for some time, but it certainly is an antiquity.  The background is a desert landscape from a Time Life book about The Earth.

* I was anorexic in my 20s.  I totally understand distorted body image.

  1. Very touching Angie. What a pity it is that we made it so important to have good (unhealthy thin) looks. I'm glad I see the sun and a rainbow behind you, that must be a good sign!

  2. It does make you wonder how much damage those Barbies have done. It's actually why I like to put them in my collages from time to time: I find them creepy. Sorry to hear about your struggle with anorexia!

  3. Love the honesty, CC. Seems kind of courageous of you to put your head on that plastic, impossible body.
