human dolls

Miquette posted these massive Blythe heads being worn by models in her Strawberry Anarchy blog,and they were so freaky and weird that I had to re-post them.

I think it's interesting to see models with doll heads, as models are kind of like dolls anyway. They're meant to be moving mannequins showing off an image, a style. Seeing them wearing doll heads just exaggerates this unreality. An unreality more perfect than the real, an ideal. I'm reading a book at the moment(Uro by Finn Skårderud -it's in Norwegian) where a psychiatrist says we don't talk about personality any longer, we talk about image. Surface.


Blythe dolls are so cute, like little perfect and fashionable people. They have no soul, but it doesn't matter as long as they have image.

I'm sure it doesn't come as a big surprise that my favourite doll is the goth doll.. :





Here's a video of the human dolls in action. It's weird to see them move:







There's more pictures of the models wearing the doll heads and info on how the doll heads were made and worn in Miquette's blog Strawberry Anarchy.



The doll heads are made by Pink Cactus Props.
