The seventh annual Altered Barbie Exhibit at Shotwell 50 Studios in San Francisco is an exhibit where artists try to bury the notion that Barbie is really that great after all.

Altered Barbie pokes fun at Barbie's perfect body image with a slew of alter egos. Instead of fashion models and blonde bimbos there's Wiccan Barbie, Mummy Barbie, Barbie the Impaler, and of course the family favorite, Bondage Barbie.

Toying with an American icon as she turns 50 years old. Curator Julie Anderson can't think of a better birthday gift to welcome this blonde in to her golden years.

"She represents everything there is about the Americana ideal, and by altering her she becomes more real," said Curator Julie Anderson.
