I'm a Barbie girl...with a shotgun.

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.

My dolls rule!

Sadly, finding Barbie heads with pointed ears is hard.
There are now Tinkerbell and other Disney Fairy Barbies you can get. So they're very Disney looking and specific to each of the characters but they do have pointy ears. I can't find any good pictures, but they do exist! Mostly as a Disney Store exclusive I think.

And I would love both Toby and Tybalt dolls. Please?
I'm familiar with the dolls; their heads are totally wrong. I'm happy to do crazy things like this, but only if I can do them correctly.
This is true. :( They have biggerish heads. They are also shorter than normal Barbies. Boooooooooooooo.
