Not For Sale: BBW BARBIE DOLL


We said imagine all day, not eat all day. Otherwise, you might become the next "New Idol" is the latest series of sculptures by Italian artist Franceso de Molfetta.  In fact, the sculptor calls his solo exhibition at Milan's Don Gallery just that -- New Idols.  More accurately, de Molfetta offers a new look at old 80's icons- like 'Barbie The Hutt' (above).  Mattel's got a cash cow (no pun intended) right there, probably even bring home more bacon than Mad Men.

Batman, JFK, King Kong, ET, and a very well-hung Superman and more join Barbie as members of de Molfetta's odd-looking to even slightly grotesque collection. If you haven't had breakfast yet - don't. You'll get fat! Check out the artist's unique vision here - and don't say we didn't warn ya!
