This is fantastic. H/T Glenna Gordon for this awesome photo series by Obi Nwokedi, who was inspired by an Italian Vogue project on a Barbie-Ken wedding to adapt the wedding, traditional Nigerian style. It took him five months, the help of his wife, and some ridicule from his son... but the results are fantastic. I think my favorite part is the dancing still-lives (can you still-life a Barbie? Is that too meta?). This will be the best thing you click on all day.
