barbie girls in barbie worlds

Stolen from gblake - models don't really look like that!. I think this one is especially creepy. It's amazing how what we view as "perfection" looks absolutely bizarre when compared so immediately to the originals - people are supposed to have pores, after all...

Yup - that's freaky. Put me in mind of your user icon, in fact *grins* What has he done to the eyes??

Sorry didn't get back to you sooner- my icon is the Mona Lisa made over as a gray alien (http://plmodels3.tripod.com/mulveyalien.htm). I think it's Whitley Strieber's Communion (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0380703882/qid=1061700374/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/103-3209993-5181446) that put "grays" on the pop-cultural map, if you want some context. I chose it mostly because the cover (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0380703882/ref=lib_rd_ss_TFCV/103-3209993-5181446?v=glance&s=books&vi=reader&img=1#reader-link) of the book never ceases to freak me, and it seems to have that curious "Mona Lisa smile", so when I saw my icon image it kind of takes it to it's extreme.
