The Doll Project is a series of conceptual digital photographs that uses fashion dolls to embody the negative messages the media gives to young girls. Though it would not be fair to blame it all on Barbie, there have been many instances in which she has come dangerously close. I chose to use Barbie dolls because they are miniature mannequins, emblems of the fashion world writ small, a representation of our culture's impossible standards of beauty scaled to one sixth actual size. The little pink scale and How To Lose Weight book are both real Barbie accessories from the 1960s. They are recurring motifs in the pictures in the series, symbolizing the ongoing dissatisfaction many girls and women feel about their weight and body image. The dolls' names, Ana and Mia, are taken from internet neologisms coined by anorexic and bulimic girls who have formed online communities with the unfortunate purpose of encouraging each other in their disordered eating. With each passing era, Ana and Mia are younger and younger, and the physical ideal to which they aspire becomes more unattainable. They internalize the unrealistic expectations of a society that digitally manipulates images of women in fashion and beauty advertisements and value their own bodies only as objects for others to look at and desire.

I didn't take this picture, but I was there when it was being taken, helped with the light and did all of the editing. It's to show about eating disorders and is meant to symbolize anorexia, however the girl in the picture does not have it.

I have love handles & saddlebags .. I'm too hairy .. My thighs wobble when I walk .. My arms aren't big enough .. My breasts are too small..
A campaign supporting our client www.hopewell.ca Hope, help and healing for those struggling with disordered eating and for their family and friends.
I had this sudden idea when I was getting a massage today to help combat my poor body image. I've been blogging about body image, the harm it does when we don't feel positive about ourselves so I decided to do a whole series dedicated to celebrating my body in a healthy way. Today I am featuring my legs, something I've always loved about myself. They are strong, healthy and carry me about, I can walk without pain and go where I need to go. That alone is something to celebrate!
I've been having a lot of issues with my body image lately. I've been thinking that my body wasn't good enough, that I could never be viewed by anyone as sexy or beautiful. This is why I've taken these pictures. I'm trying to do whatever I can to heal my self esteem.
I really love this picture. It makes me feel like a real live girl!
Please don't leave any unnecessary comments on my photo... This picture is about my self acceptance, not someone else's perverted enjoyment.
