Socality Barbie’s profile says it all:
If you spend any time on Instagram you know the aesthetic. If you don’t, take a quick browse through the #liveauthentic hashtag. It’s the life you wish you led.
The parody account was started by a wedding photographer based in Portalnd, Oregon; who for now, remains anonymous. The satirizing works so well because the photos themselves are meticulously crafted and staged. From the spot-on outfits and accessories, to the poses and of course the hashtags—the account is so entertaining because it’s so well done.
In an interview with Wired, the anonymous photographer opines:
People were all taking the same pictures in the same places and using the same captions. 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?’
