An alternative to ripping your Barbie's head off


Do you remember that first Barbie you owned? If you're a guy, then probably not. But ladies, I'm sure, remember how we combed their hair and dressed them up?

Artist Daena Title explores the idealized beauty that these childhood dolls represent in her upcoming exhibit "Drown the Dolls" at the Koplin Del Rio in Culver City. The exhibit, which opens Jan. 8 and will run until Feb. 19, features paintings that attempts to drown away the unrealistic expectations for the female figure.

Title is a figurative painter whose work centers mainly around women's issues and contemporary social dynamics. After seeing the last show we went to in Pasadena, I thought she would've been a good fit for the "Action/Reaction" theme.
