It usually coincides with the time that she realizes that Barbies have no body hair, genitals, or physiologically possible proportions. During this time every little girl, whether they want to admit it or not, plays with their Barbies in a way that the Mattel makers would not intend for them to be played with (little girls make their Barbies have sex.) But one little girl, went above and beyond in her pre-pubescent Barbie doll playing days, and that little girl was named Mariel Clayton. Though it should be said, artist Mariel Clayton never actually outgrew her Barbies, she just invented fun, new ways to play with them. Mariel started out with an interest in travel photography and after what she describes as a "sublime experience" in a Japanese toy shop she became enthralled with photographing miniatures, specifically Barbies with a feminist, homicidal, psycho-sexual edge. Mariel describes her fascination with the Barbie doll,
Barbie was designed as the woman that every girl would want to be, and that every man would want to fuck. Her body design, the blonde hair, the tiny waist, the perky tits - all part of this new feminine ideal to be held up as a guiding beacon of womanhood. and yet - outside of an aesthetically enhanced sector of society, the number of women who actually look like that naturally is decidedly small. The Sex life of the Girl with no Genitals. Definitely NSFW.
Considering the anatomy and design of the Barbie and placing it in situations ranging from mass murder, cannibalism, sodomy, and abortion creates an uncomfortable dissonance that is just way too far out and groovy for words. Mariel describes her message,
I don't generally like to be all moralistic and preachy, there's enough people out there who get off on the sound of their own voice. But every now and then some things I notice just need to be processed in a different way.
You can order prints of Mariel's work, which can be printed on anything from greeting cards to large canvas mounts. Her print work ranges from $60-$160, which is a bargain considering how big a conversation piece these puppies are, perfect for any cocktail party. I think I'll get a triptych to hang in my bathroom! Here's a little gallery of my favorite pieces as seen on her website. Some NSFW Via ONTD]]>

ADAM LEVINE Gets Naked For Ball Cancer https://www.radioactivecookies.com/adam-levine-gets-naked-for-ball-cancer/ https://www.radioactivecookies.com/adam-levine-gets-naked-for-ball-cancer/#respond Thu, 06 Jan 2011 23:02:57 +0000 http://radioactivecookies.com/?p=2652 Continue reading ADAM LEVINE Gets Naked For Ball Cancer ]]> So the lead singer and frontman of Maroon 5, Adam Levine, took it all off to help raise testicular cancer awareness and to encourage men to get screened. And I couldn't think of any better way to make gay men and women want to get checked out! If the goal of these photographs is to encourage men to get screened then I think they've failed because these are clearly intended for a female audience. I don't know, maybe the people behind them hope that the girlfriends, wives and platonic female friends of the world will bitch and nag the men of their lives into getting screened because Adam Levine got naked in that one add and we think ball cancer awareness is sexy! I just have two words: I WANT! I believe it was William Shakespeare who said it best:
See how he leans his junk upon her hand? Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that junk!
I'm really just thinking about that poor hand model that's bent down behind Adam assuming the rusty trombone position. She looks like she needs a break... One more for the road? Why not?! Via Dlisted]]>

Porn For The Blind https://www.radioactivecookies.com/porn-for-the-blind/ https://www.radioactivecookies.com/porn-for-the-blind/#respond Wed, 05 Jan 2011 23:01:49 +0000 http://radioactivecookies.com/?p=2632 Continue reading Porn For The Blind ]]> Well here's something interesting I found in my daily perusing of the blogs. Toronto artist Lisa J. Murphym who published The Tactile Mind two years ago, a 3D book of nudes with braille descriptions, has added four more images she's calling theTactile Atelier Bookmark. The original book comes at a whopping $225 (is that Canadian moneys?) with the erotic extension pack (lol) at an additional $100. And no wonder why they cost so much, Murphym does all the work herself.
I took photographs of my friends in lingerie, blew up the images, and hand-sculpted them into clay. Then I made thermoform copies. I ran the plastic myself through my thermoform machine at home, so each one took awhile to make. The butt was really hard to sculpt. I wanted to get it nice and even and give it a feminine softness so it would actually feel like a woman's butt. It took me days to sculpt all the curves right, but I'm told it does feel like a woman's butt in a G-string.
Yes Lisa, the ass is always the hardest! Well I glad that at least Lisa was trying to be realistic in capturing the 3D form of a curvy and cellulite-endowed hottie. The additional four images are supposed to be a sort of teaser at a new book Murphym plans to put out, promising that it will be more erotic and with couples. I can't wait! Via ONTD]]>

KATY PERRY: The Ironic Feminist https://www.radioactivecookies.com/katy-perry-the-ironic-feminist/ https://www.radioactivecookies.com/katy-perry-the-ironic-feminist/#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 21:19:03 +0000 http://radioactivecookies.com/?p=1815 Continue reading KATY PERRY: The Ironic Feminist ]]> Katy Perry's been on everyone's radio, television, computer screen and various other implements of technology for a couple years now. As a facet of popular culture Katy isn't granted much nevermind, her music is taken at face value as something to grind up on a stranger to in a crowded club that your friend dragged you to, because she's had a rough week and she really just wants to dance but you really just want to stay in, open a bottle of wine and watch Saturday Night Live even if it's not been that good lately. I digress... What I was saying is that no one really dissects her music because, as it is pop music, most people don't really feel the need to read into it. (Just listen to it, you ear-bud drone!) The first time I heard California Gurls I was like, "Catchy, but not my cup of tea." (I'm a rocker!) And then I saw the video and then I watched it again and something clicked. Katy Perry might not be just another pretty, dumb, pop singer. Maybe she's smart, maybe she's trying to say something... maybe she's a feminist in centerfold clothing! And so I present to you, without further adieu (because there's already been far too much adieu): Katy Perry: The Ironic Feminist!

How about if we made it a comic book?! Well that's exactly was Amsterdam has done with the beloved Diary of Anne Frank. Representatives of the book are saying that they've decided to turn the most popular piece of literature coming out of the Holocaust into a graphic novel to get more kids to read it. Seriously? When I was a little Catholic schoolgirl, growing up in the Village The Diary of Anne Frank was right up there with Are You There God, It's Me Margaret? Seeing the SS in technicolor with little Nazi speech bubbles wouldn't have changed a damn thing for me. But hey, I guess when your whole city is constantly in a haze of pot smoke then you probably won't be able to absorb anything if it's not drawn out for you with minimal description and dialogue.
