“Z-Warrior Barbie in Battle with an Iguana”

From Reuters:

A piece by LaVonne Sallee titled "Z-Warrior Barbie in Battle with an Iguana" sits on a display at the "Altered Barbie" exhibition in San Francisco, August 11, 2008. Welcome to San Francisco's annual "Altered Barbie" exhibition, where the iconic doll of American pop culture is cut up, glued down, juxtaposed with all sorts of objects and transformed in a new mode of self-expression.

From SFGate:

For the sixth annual show, the theme is recycled and reusable materials, which many of the 60 artists have used to represent distorted body image, as well as to create everything from fashionable Barbie outfits to anatomically correct versions of the doll. The exhibition also includes quilts, print making, poetry, film, workshops on altering Barbie and "self-marriages," ceremonies intended to help people appreciate their capacity to control their own lives.
