Attack Of The Zombie Barbie!

Susannah BreslinDecember 10, 2008 //

One of my favorite fashion bloggers, Oslo, Norway’s Are Sundnes of Paranaiv, has created this lovely Barbie of the Undead. No longer nice, blond, and sweet, Zombie Barbie is gently eaten, somewhat gray, and stands over a random limb that she was likely gnawing upon. Bad Undead Barbie! Flesh-eating Barbie and a gorilla-My Pretty Pony chimera are part of a series Are’s making out of recycled toys; “Make boring toys cool!” he explains. Check out some behind the scenes shots of Barbie getting modded here. Of course, Are’s not the first to turn this female icon into art. National Barbie-in-a-Blender Day celebrates Utah artist Tom Forsythe’s court victory over Barbie maker Mattel. The toy manufacturer sued Forsythe for taking arty photographs of Barbie in a blender. Long live Undead Barbie! What did you do to your Barbie? [Boing Boing; photo used by permission of Are Sundnes] Keep reading »

    John Kransinski Croons A Christmas Carol

    Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 9, 2008 //

    So, this morning Simcha professed her hatred for holiday music, sadly, one of my greatest guilty pleasures. But I think I’ve found just the thing to open her eyes to the joys of festive tunes! For some unknown reason, adorably nerdy-hot actor John Krasinski (Jim on “The Office”) stopped by an Aimee Mann show and did a duet with her on “Winter Wonderland.” And, yes, it’s true. Nerdy-hot guys get even nerdier and hotter when they sing…Christmas carols. [Via BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

    The Two Ways Men Increase Their Status

    Catherine StrawnDecember 9, 2008 //

    Have you always wondered why Brad Pitt and George Clooney are consistently thought of as the biggest studs in Hollywood? New research from the University of Michigan relating to aggression, status, and sex might help explain. When social status or sex are on a man’s mind, it causes them to act aggressively so as to maintain his cred, according to assistant professor Vladas Griskevicius. But these too attack triggers are linked: “Across different cultures and time, the higher status men have, the more sex or better-quality partners they may have,” Griskevicius said. Keep reading »
