Oh, boy. Do I have a treat for you today! I was actually planning to do a two-part Day of the Dead review at around this time, but then a highly-anticipated doll showed up on my doorstep, and it was a stop-the-presses kind of moment.
Way back in February of this year, I was scanning Twitter for interesting doll information, and a post by fez caught my attention. It was an advertisement for a Kickstarter campaign run by a man named Oscar Moreno. Mr. Moreno, for inexplicable reasons that we should all be grateful for, wanted to make a vinyl fashion...doll. Or rather a fashion maggot. And she's a fashion maggot who looks like Barbie. Sort of. She's heavily inspired by Barbie, anyway, and she's easily the sexiest grub I've ever seen in my life. I immediately pledged lots of money to the campaign and crossed my fingers that the project would get enough funding to move forward. There was no need to worry: the campaign met its goal on the very first day.
I wish I'd had this little larva around during Barbie Month, but better late than never, I suppose. Allow me to introduce the seductively squishy and subtly segmented Larvie, Teen Age Fashion Maggot:
