Lady Gaga is a doll

Lady Gaga-like dolls inspired by doll-like Lady Gaga. I knew it was coming. This time Mattel was too slow though. Veik, a 29-year-old Gaga fan from Beijing, got there first and the result is stunning! (source & source)

The Gaga-glam style could find no better artist to reflect it on Gaga worship Barbie versions, pictures of which could be easily mistaken for shots of the eccentric singer.

His Gaga-concert doll even includes a step-by-step tutorial of how he managed to get this:

To look like this:
Whether a Gaga fan or not, do visit his flickr portfolio here. "Kermit the frog" outfit and McQueen's "alien" shoe are only a couple of the miniature takes guaranteed to impress you.

Knitting for Coraline

These days you all seem to be watching Henry Selick's "Coraline". It's on my list too. It's not all about the plot and the special effects though. Ever wondered how her tiny conseptual knits were made? Mad! Watch this.

Kartell <3 Barbie <3 Moschino

It's more than furniture at the Furniture Fair in Milan at the moment. Design giant Kartell loves Barbie, who loves Moschino and they've all joined the festivities for plastic babe's 50th.

Oversized She and eternal beau Ken have made themselves at home at the windows of the local flagship store, dressed in Moschino and standing alongside Kartell's special edition chairs, Louis Ghost and Lou Lou Ghost .

The plastic purveyor home items featuring Barbie's face come in both real and miniature size in a fun, celebrational limited edition. The profits from the Barbie boxed, doll-house size items will go towards the good causes of Save the Children Foundation.

With my very own birthday just a sneeze away, I wouldn't mind a "Barbie-goes-design" gift in the post. (Come on Barbie, I've always been nice to you) (Ok, sorry for what I did to your hair back in the '80s...)
