Current Photo Friday theme: Music
Music is such joy, inspiration, and comfort for me. In September 2011, I did one of my favorite challenges as I followed along with TV’s “Project Runway,” forming a band of Mattel Barbie dolls called “The Opposite of Math,” and posing them in fashions I designed. I even created a mock Rolling Stone cover for them. A friend described this girl group as “Dollyrots Meets Spice Girls.” From left to right, they are a Hard Rock Barbie I named Rocky, dubbed “The Fun Girl”; a Barbie Basics Red Collection doll I named Juliet, “The Earth Mother”; the Robert Best On Location Barcelona Barbie, or “Barcelona, The Sophisticate”; and the Joan Jett Barbie, known as “Grace, The Rebel.” Rock on, Opposite of Math!
Love the dollyrots
I think it was Rhonda who made the analogy. I know zero Dollyrots. Most punk of every decade, even this century, passed me by. Not a judgment of musical quality, just a matter of musical preference.
And, here I was expecting a huge, huge collage of album covers.
Honestly, though, even I couldn’t achieve that. The decision making process would just give up, forever.
Yes–when you love music and own a lot of it, even attempting a Top 100 Favorite Albums is damn near impossible. Worse if you publish it, as so many sites do, and earn the fury of readers and music lovers everywhere.
