Hilarious Photos of Instagram Star Barbie Living the #AuthenticLife

Share:

She can find the perfect filter to transform the photos from her mountain hike in an instant. She’s all about living that #authenticlife and #lifeofadventure. She loves Jesus, coffee, and her Filson backpack. Socality Barbie is a true Instagram star, thanks to a Portland-based wedding photographer who has chosen to remain anonymous.

“The homogeneity of their authenticity and universality of their socality all but demanded satirization,” writes Wired — referring to a global movement of Instagram users. The website also interviewed the photographer. “People were all taking the same pictures in the same places and using the same captions,” she stated. “I couldn’t tell any of their pictures apart so I thought, ‘What better way to make my point than with a mass-produced doll?’”

The Christian Post advises “socality connects believers and non-believers alike, mostly via social networking sites like Twitter and Instagram, for the purpose of bringing them closer to faith.” The photo-sharing website has been particularly popular for the movement — and apart from the doll, Socality Barbie’s feed and the official Socality page (with 157k followers) are seamless.
