C'mon on Barbie, let's go party

In some ways, Barbie is the original life-like fetish object, paving the way for cartoons, blow-up dolls, anime and the like. Drastically unproportionate with a tiny waist, large breasts, big eyes and long blonde hair, many porn stars, models or actresses seek to emulate this look, notably Pamela Anderson.

I have a confession to make. I love Barbie. I used to collect them, but found myself not enjoying the modern Barbie, but instead focusing on the vintage Barbies of the 60s. Like much of the 60s, I'm drawn to the clean, classic lines of her pale blue eyeshadow, thick eyeliner; perfectly coordinated wardrobe with matching shoes and handbags for every outfit. I have stopped collecting Barbies, but love the work of Judy Ragagli who makes photo realistic oil paintings of vintage Babies. Platinum Swirl has been on my wishlist for ages.

The theme at Club Hell last night was Barbie's Hell House. So I posted the following on my social media sites:

Going to Hell tonight as the Barbie who got all her hair cut off by a creative child. And wears all leather. Seriously, why isn't there a dominatrix Barbie? Mattel?

Many people responded. Here are some of the fetish themed Barbies that are out there:





































































As for myself, I geared up with my crotch high black leather boots, corset, short skirt and some metallic hot pink eyelashes. Even though I also wore blue eyeshadow, no one commented on my resemblance to Barbie. I was still a hit.

I went through a Barbie phase in my early 20's. My wife started collecting them and I would snatch up the ones that caught my eye. As a dom there was something really nice about collecting pretty objects and their clothes lol.
