Barbie the Sociopath

Mariel Clayton photographs dioramas of Barbie dolls in grisly scenes that juxtapose the glamor of Barbie with the savagery of her hidden violence. It's like all this time she's always been a female version of Dexter Morgan.

Back in the day (early nineties?) there was a series of Bondage Barbie photos that made the rounds. Mattel came down on them hard. I imagine the same will happen here.

Oh my! These are some intricate and provocative works, indeed. Mattel will probably flip out, but that's what they get for creating a toy that's become heavily-laden with symbolism.

P.S. You might want to put a NSFW warning on the link, just in case. Some of the miniatures include tiny "love utensils" (hilarious!) and compromising adult activities.

That's a good idea, WordyGrrl.
