I have always had mixed feelings about Barbie, but seen in this light she's my kind of woman! Kudos to the creative minds at Beach Birth Photography for capturing Barbie's birth story with incredible nuance and wit. You have to see it for yourself...
especially hilarious how the midwife is shown wearing a (frumpy?) handknit sweater :) and as a home-birth and knitting mother myself, i mean that in the nicest possible way!
That is so out! And so creative! I found myself forgetting that they were dolls at points looking through the photos in sequence, especially. I was as invested in the experience as I would be if they had been humans, which is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for posting! And what a beauty Hazel is (from last post), by the way!
So fun, I am with you on the mixed feelings about Barbie but she is afterall a homebirther, doctor, flight attendant, rock star, olympic athlete, and so much more ;)
Hi, and welcome. My name is Leigh. After over ten years of living in NYC, I recently moved to the 'burbs with my amazing husband, Taro, and our three beautiful children. Once upon a time, I was a sculptor. I am a lifelong unschooler. I am passionate about issues related to pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, as well as art, design, fashion, travel, books, music, and food. I hope you enjoy my eclectic mix of topics. Feel free to join in the conversation! I love comments and emails.

ReplyDeleteHa! So cool! I used to make my Barbies pregnant all the time - I would ball up Playdoh and stick it to her under her clothes. :-)
