Demented Barbie in Carbonite sculpture

Etsy seller Stray's "Barbie Trapped in Carbonite" sculpture is perfectly demented and just the thing for transitioning the kids from unrealistic Dream House play to unrealistic space-empire play. Link (via IZ Reloaded)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This would be even more awesome if it were 6 feet tall and she had that tormented look frozen on her face. I’d buy it in a minute!

..I’m kind of surprised we haven’t seen more carbonite sculptures like this, featuring famous people and icons getting the Han Solo treatment. I can see some really cool art coming out of that concept. Imagine the following getting frozen in their most famous poses:

* Hitler
* Marilyn Monroe
* John Travolta as Tony Manero in his SNF pose!
* Fat Albert
* A certain congressman doing his “toe tap shuffle”
* Wolverine
* The Three Stooges
* Elvis Presley on Ed Sullivan

Well, this is certainly a step up from this:

Hope they have good luck with Mattel on this one. They sue everybody who uses the image or name of Barbie. Damn, I just did it now!
