Image shows Mattel's Tall Barbie from the Fashionista line wearing a pair of hand-made bell bottom jeans (boot cut jeans) with a tie dye shirt. She poses in front of a painting of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris (a facsimile of the famous painting by Monet), and she stands beside a wicker papasan chair with a handmade gray and pink cushion that has been upholstered with 1:6 scale buttons. The Tall Barbie's expression looks cheerful and spontaneous, like someone took the photo unexpectedly.
