Tara, who is my good and loving and tolerant friend, and who does all the graphics for my website, is also a Barbie customizer. She takes normal, every day dolls and turns them into geek icons, like NCIS's Abby Sciuto, or damn near EVERY CHARACTER EVER to appear in an episode of Star Trek. I? Think this is awesome. And that, friends and neighbors, is why I asked Tara to make me a Barbie.
An Alice Price-Healy Barbie. Behold:
Alice! She has the head of an Aquamarine Birthstone Beauty, the right arm of a Hard Rock Barbie, and the body of a Harley-Davidson Barbie. Her shirt is an old, old piece of Ken's wardrobe; her tank top is Barbie Basics; and her hot camouflage pants are proof that she's more awesome than your Barbie. Oh, and did we mention the weapons? She has a shotgun, pistols, grenades, knives, smoke bombs, and a 1:6 scale machete. Yes. BARBIE WITH A MACHETE.
Alice knows what you're thinking. Alice doesn't approve.
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but the Arwen doll that came out for the LOTR movies might make a good Toby, and the Galadriel doll could be used for Amandine.
She looks fantastic! Just amazing. I love all the accessories. It is important to know how to accessorize.
I second the question - does Tara have a website or blog so we can see more of her custom Barbies? Hmm...I don't mean that to be as dirty as it sounds...
I so want to make a Toby Barbie. I even have an idea about how to do her ears. I just need to wait until wifelet has a new job (ugh, money) to be able to do it.
