When dolls meet art ~ Gustav Klimt Barbie

 Lately, I discovered the amazing -and vast- world of collectors' Barbies. Yup, I know, how could I not know about them? Where had I been all this time? I'm guessing, knee-deep in diapers and such, but now that I got to see the amazing dolls that Mattel has produced throughout  the years, I can't wait to make some mine and photograph them! Dolls with big, balloon-style dresses, blond hair and blue eyes were never my style. I like the ones that stand out, because they are edgy, unusual or just different.  And after that intro, I'd like to introduce you to the amazing barbie dolls of the MUSEUM COLLECTION, which are inspired by the artworks of great artists. These were released in 2011 so they are not new, by any means, but new to me, as I didn't know of their existence till recently... And I thought maybe they are new to some of you too, because it seems not many people know about them. They are PINK LABEL, but have become quite rare in today's second hand market...
