Sex Sells Idea.

"Sex Sells is a fashion story, treating about how sexuality is distributed in modern society.


This set of photographs out pressure on the paradoxical setting of children's toy and fashion, as symbols and mediums for 'selling sexuality."

As you can see this model has Barbie legs. This is emphasised by the out of focus Barbie legs and body next to it. This is very quirky and different! I love idea of it because it isn't obvious however it is still there. As being an on looker you don't notice it immediately.

I wish to recreate this with my own pictures however i know it is going to be difficult. I want to try and recreate it without having the legs next to it, so it looks like a normal portraiture, however it may have to have the legs because it may not be that obvious to the audience.

 As you can see here the part of the Barbie this one has is the arm. This is a bit more obvious than the legs because you have the joint on show.
This works because you can still see that it is a human back - with the spine showing.
To recreate this it will be very hard as you will have to get the correct angle on the model and then the same angle on the barbie and Photoshop it in.







 This image is a very weird one, because it has the Barbie face! When you first look at it, you know there is something wrong but you cant figure what it is out. Then you notice that it is a Barbies face, it is the eyes you first notice, this is because of the strong blue colour of the pupil. The hair is still the same and the rest of the face look half human, so its very odd to look at.
This must of taken a lot of time on Photosohp to recreate because they had to get the same colour skin for the Barbie and then human. This is what I am going to struggle with.









 This is the most obvious image out of them all, and that's because the model / Barbie isn't wearing any trousers so you can tell straight away it is the Barbies body and legs. The shine on the stomach gives away the fact that it is Barbie because this gives it the plastic look. The joining of the human skin and Barbie skin has been done professionally because you can't see it at all. You can also see the join between hip and leg - this proves it is the Barbies body.

This is the type of portraiture I am wanting to recreate for my final piece. It's going to be difficult but if I get it correct it will look so effective and unique.

I want to try and create this into my own style so try doing human body parts onto a Barbie ( so the other way round) to what this has done.
