Hail covergirl, Full of grace...





Not many girls choose to intermingle religion with their dolls and suites, but one barbie has chosen to push the envelope yet again with one of her eccentric ideas. Yeah, so I pretty much fell in love when I saw this:



Very thought provoking and intriguing to say the least. If you know me, then you know that I am a lover of all art and creative ideas. I find it fascinating when SD users transform their suites into something out of the normal boundaries. In the above photo, is Undamyumbrellla (also known as Kasia), all decked out in full Catholic Mary regalia. Mother of Jesus. And she wants to be cover girl. She wants to be worshipped on Stardoll... Maybe I'm crazy but I'm not offended at all. I think its just lovely.

When asked about her latest creation she replied:

"I thought it was kind of funny. You know, the idea of Mary standing beside the crucifix in Golgotha, wanting to be voted Covergirl. Seeking attention, wanting to be looked at and celebrated is a struggle, a female struggle primarily. Covergirls are worshiped on this site. Religion is a celebration, Hollywood is a celebration. Is being a "Covergirl" the only way a young woman can be worshiped? I'm talking about in the real world, too. Historically, women are accustomed to being looked at, being on display. That is simply how we gain power! Anyway, I'm not really sure. In other words, I did it for attention. But, in doing that, I'm being honest with where I am in my life. And, where I'll wind up. Stooping down to superficial levels, because I want to be worshiped. I ought to be looked at."



Kasia also re-enacted her own take on a personal shrine.
I always think its cool when people create images with the
limited amount shapes in the design shop.
Here she created a tunic with the Virgin Mary's face on it.
The pillow is reminiscent of Britney Spears album cover "Hit me baby, One more time".

"I'm not dishonoring anything, or anyone though. I'm a Christian. I pray every night. I don't think there's anything wrong, necessarily, with portraying a figure. Mary is my idol. I love her. I like Britney Spears too." ~ UndamyUmbrellla

I do too Kasia #TeamBritney

What do you dolls think? Hot or not? Offensive or ingenious? What are your personal views on religion, if any?






Because really, What girl doesn't want to be worshiped?...
