Remember Barbie, the blond, blue-eyed, impossibly proportioned fashion icon? Yeah, she's still out there and going strong. We loved her as kids but often wondered why there wasn't more of a selection of barbies. I mean, you grow up meeting lots of different people, with different skin tones, different languages, different hair, different clothes.
Loanee Hizo Ostile obviously had these same thoughts, at some point. She is an incredibly talented artist and has a website here. Taking generic barbies, she adds new hair, repaints the faces and/or bodies and dresses her creations in stunning clothing or costumes. She then sells her creations on ebay and through other sources.
When you go to her website, click on the gallery link at the top of the page to view many of her past creations, including Harry Potter versions, the UPS guy, your local policeman, little babies and even families! We couldn't find one that wasn't amazing! They aren't cheap but hey are one-of-a-kind and would make a really special gift! Go check them out!
