Barbie is now everyone from Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring to Warhol’s Marilyn thanks to French artist, Jocelyne Grivaud, who creates Barbie doll versions of famous works of art.

"My creations are inspired by famous works I have been moved by. The idea was to design transformations of Barbie and have fun at the same time. It is a way of making comparisons between different representations of women, created at different times, and Barbie, a figure with a firm hold on our imaginations."

Fun or what?

The third one is actually pretty good. Otherwise, Barbie is too skinny for the rest of them. No offense to Barbie of course.
