This is relatively a new thing, I saw something about it a year ago, but there are girls into this "real-life doll" look. It's just creepy as hell. Basically they dress themselves up like Barbie, sometimes go as far as cosmetic surgery, slather on enough makeup to look like a mannequin, and drop in some contact lenses that make their eyes look huge. I also read somewhere that parents are letting their teenage daughters look like this, which I don't think is right.
At first glance, you think it's one of "those" dolls, but it's not, it's a real living, breathing human being. It's just creepy.
Check it out if you dare:

while probably technically safe for work, i'd still classify that as at least awkward depending on who walks by, just fyi.

...safe but blocked...
It does sound scary... but then again, this sort of the "real life cartoon copying" has been going on for years in Japan.

Yeah I forgot to mention that. I remember when this was a "new" thing in Japan.

Appears that facial muscles are not capable of a simple smile.
Weird. Girl in the bikini looks anorexic.
My question. Boring or exciting in bed? Is it just a look, or is it a whole persona? If they act like a doll, then it is damn-near one of the creepiest things Ive seen in a while.

Everything is work safe when you've got a smartphone and a corner cube!

Iono, if that means she doesn't talk and you can bend her into whatever positions you want....

Duh.. (head smack...)
Actually... not really as bad/creepy as I thought it was going to be. She's pretty and has a nice figure - I was expecting a rail of a girl with artificially perky breasts and that "Barbi" smile. Yes, she looks a little thin in the bikini picture, but I wouldn'y say anorexic. More like she's holding her stomach in.
Something about her poses make her look a bit amature-ish, but with a bit of modelling training she could make something of this.
Strange people in this world.
I'd hit it.
I like some of their style in clothes though so that might be why I don't find it that bad.

With my luck I'd end up with a Betsy Wetsy fan.
Barbie smiles, I wish she would

Ugh, talk about creepy – my skin's still crawling. I gave up TV almost ten years ago, the reality trend was just too distasteful to sit through. About the only time I watch is at the gym when I'm stuck on the elliptical for half an hour.
Tonight, there was this show on weird addictions – featuring a British couple with a collection of some 150 "love dolls" – some of which they stored in coffins. These two wackjobs estimate they've spent about $150,000 on their "collection", including one "german-engineered" doll with an "internal heating system" which set them back $15,000.
I'm feeling exceedingly normal....

Are you including the owner's therapy bills?

Pair of right wack-jobs they were. They insisted they weren't having it off with the dolls – yet they were quick to show off the white flower each was shipped with as symbol of its "virginity".
~Shudder~
Glad I saved all that money on cable bills.

I notice that nobody is offering to do themselves up as "Ken"...
I like this look even less than the movies stars starving themselves. Cut it out with the plastic surgery, eat a berkeleying cheeseburger, throw the make-up away, and maybe some guys will take you seriously. The eyes are creeping me out, too.
Threatened gays committing suicide, women being objectified and being paid $10k less per year than men, and the never-ending rise in cosmetic surgery profits. The fact that this has become a "hobby" for some women makes me sick.
Why are we driving women to try to fit some paradigm while we men sit around in our boxers looking at pictures of it?
But...
I'd toss it in her pooper.
