When it comes to Barbie, you may think this doll has run her course. But you would be wrong. There are new and exciting way to play dress up with your dolls -- just ask the people who started the Altered Barbie Convention.

Artists from all over come together to show off their creative sides -- and the canvas is Barbie. Now, some of the works of art are things we've all done with our Barbies when we were kids -- Barbie doing Ken, Barbie in a compromising position, Barbie showing the world her perfect fake boobies.

But, some of the creations are downright amazing -- Barbie turns into a tree, bloody Barbie eaten by alligators, Barbie is a motorcycle and Ken rides her. We think Mattel should snap up the rights and start marketing some of these bad boys!
