Both fair and perilous

Barbie as Galadriel. Urk. Somehow, this makes me cringe; can't quite explain why.

Edited to add: heinous_bitca has informed me of this, which is equally as bad. *Shudder*

Second edit: I am, of course, rather a howling hypocrite to object.

Awesome.

The appeal of Galadriel is supposed to be so etherial and spiritual, while Barbie's massive powers stem largely from her being overdeveloped and small enough to fit in the hip-pocket -- a perfect material girl.

However, they are the Lasting Beauties, the archetypes, and have that semireal sexy/unapproachable quality.

God knows that if Galadriel has ever been portrayed, it was as a super femme enchantress. Just. Like. Barbie.
