battle of the blondes. gaga vs. barbie

Lady Gaga is awe inspiring. Last year seemed like a rollercoaster ride, one minute the press was slating anything and everything she wore, yet gradually she won them over. Weird and wonderful has triumphed! I seem to remember someone (maybe a Spice Girl) once said: “You know you’ve made it when they make a doll of you.” True, true. And to signal Gaga’s astonishing rise from mocked to praised, here they are.
These remarkable Barbie dolls were made by Veik, a 29 year old from China. Here is his Flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/veik11/. Thank-you to hapsical.blogspot.com for bringing this happiness to my attention! I think my personal love affair began with Bad Romance. The video is wonderful, the contrast between restraint and freedom demonstrated through clothing! OMG, the whole concept is fantastical!
God, I wish my Barbie dolls had been as privileged to have their own McQueen shoes!!
