I found these pictures thanks to a blog I've only just discovered, Diary of a Dead Barbie (which I'm loving at the moment). It looks like Barbie's been getting up to all sorts...
It seems that according to photographer Mariel Clayton, Barbie is a sadist!
Although you can laugh at the surreality of the images, they aren't just about humour. Seeing Barbie in such incongruous poses approaches heavy issues such as suicide, abortion and sex trafficking in an alternative light, making them current and making you see them in new ways.
Check out more of Mariel Clayton's photography using miniatures and dolls. It's wicked.
