Build with Chrome. Welcome disciples, to the Temple of MUSE. Be my chair. The Dark Side of Barbie. Photographer Mariel Clayton explorers the evil and hitherto unknown side of the famous doll character. When asked why she did it, Clayton explains: ‘Because I hate Barbie. I intensely dislike the stereotype that the “ideal” female fits no current authentic female form. You can’t get to be Barbie without an ocean’s worth of peroxide, 27 plastic surgeries and a complete lack of intelligence, so it irritates me immensely that this is the toy of choice women give to their daughters to emulate. Behind the vacuous perpetual lipsticked-smile lurks the black heart of the true sociopath, just like in real life’. [via Lost At E Minor]

Philippe Rahm / Terroirs déterritorialisés / carte blanche VIA 2009. Living Without Plastic « Pledge Off Plastic.
Plastic is everywhere; it wraps our food, it packages our products; it touches us every day. Lately, I’ve been wondering whether it’s enough to just recycle. No matter how much we recycle, plastic ends up in our streams, along our roads, and in our oceans. It kills wildlife, and I’d wager it hurts us. That’s why I’m taking a pledge off plastic: ninety days without buying or receiving plastic products, or as near as I can manage. The rules of the plastic pledge are: Do not purchase any product containing plastic (food containers, DVDs, etc.)Do not use any disposable plastic products (e.g. straws, lids, packaging, etc). If I use a disposable plastic product I have from before starting the pledge, I’ll document the use and sum up everything at the end of each week. Consequences of plastic.Alternatives to plastic.Resources to help accomplish the pledge.What items contain plastic that you never think about.How this pledge changes my habits and the way I think myself as a consumer.
