Black Barbie and Ken's Nigerian Traditional Wedding

It seems that those of us in dolldom have been in the vanguard of a growing artistic phenomenon.  In the last two weeks my boss and other non-doll friends have sent me several interesting links to photo series by professional photographers that either use fashion dolls or cast live models as Barbie and Ken.  Obi's "Black Barbie and Ken's Nigerian Traditional Wedding" is exquisitely beautiful and also a roaring good time.  Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!

  4. I saw this a couple days ago. The photography is amazing. Nice to experience the Nigerian wedding. It was so funny reading about the photographer being bored and that's how this came about. He probably got more views from his doll wedding than any other wedding.
