This is what Barbie would look like without makeup (plus braces) as imagined by artist Eddi Aguirre. Pretty much exactly like an anti-meth PSA. Personally, I think she looks great both ways. And I'm not just saying that to sound like a man who can always see the inner beauty... / Continue →

Don't worry, I just punched myself in the neck for that whole 'you glow girl' thing. I deserved it. And probably much worse. Because we live in the future, and the future shines like the lens flare in a new Star Trek movie, Mattel is releasing a $50(!) Barbie with an interac... / Continue →

This is 21-going-on-6-year-old Valeria Lukyanova (links to her Ukranian Facebook-y thing with LITERALLY 10,000 more photos of Little Ms. Vain). Valeria always dreamed of being a real life Barbie doll. And now, after numerous surgeries, she's finally realized her dream AND CAN... / Continue →
