Photographer Mariel Clayton Explores The Dark Side Of Barbie

Photographer Mariel Clayton Explores The Dark Side Of Barbie
You know how fictional character Dexter Morgan has a nice, good guy face that he shows to the public but deep down he’s really a brutal killer with an insatiable thirst for the blood of the guilty? Yeah, well apparently Barbie (the doll) has that same blood-thirst … at least, according to photographer Mariel Clayton. [...]

You know how fictional character Dexter Morgan has a nice, good guy face that he shows to the public but deep down he’s really a brutal killer with an insatiable thirst for the blood of the guilty? Yeah, well apparently Barbie (the doll) has that same blood-thirst … at least, according to photographer Mariel Clayton. Clayton has photographed a series of scenes that feature Barbie doing things that you’re prolly not used to seeing her do. Be warned, some of the images are disturbing … but, IMHO, they’re also extremely interesting.


Wow, right? I’m certain there will be some people offended by some of this imagery but I deffo appreciate what the artist is going for. That being said, there is a fairly graphic photo of Barbie after she endured a wire hanger abortion that even I didn’t feel like sharing here on my blog. Even still, the image of Barbie that we have all grown up with is completely turned on its ear with these photos. What do y’all think of these photos (as well as the rest of the photos that you can see at Mariel Clayton‘s official website HERE) … do you find these interesting? Intriguing? Outrageous? Wrong?
