Barbie Trashes Her Dreamhouse is a 1/6th scale model of a hoarder’s home. It’s furnished with actual generic Barbie™ and Bratz™ toys and tiny, tiny props hand-crafted by artist Carrie M. Becker.

As if you needed more reasons not to procreate, here are your daughter’s new favorite dolls. The only question is, do you buy the brat a kid-approved abstract-slut Gaga Barbie or an inaccurately-masculine Anna Chapman action doll?
Long before other toy-obsessed photographers were posing their playthings in sex scandals and war scenes, David Levinthal was putting his dolls on camera. In 1972, the New York-based photographer began working with Barbie, Ken and G.I. Joe in series of black and white images reacting to the sexual revolution of the past decade: the iconic American blond ditches her boring old boyfriend and “blithely crosses the racial divide, … hooking up with a black G.I. Joe action figure for several carnal encounters.” John McWhinnie at Glenn Horowitz Bookseller will open a solo show of Levinthal’s “Bad Barbie” from November 4th through December 5th at 50 ½ East 64th Street.
