Wicked Wanda's is an adult emporium in Ottawa, catering to the kinky and erotic side of life. The store display windows lean towards the fetish side of things, and have a wonderfully naughty and twisted sense of humour to them. While the prudish might gasp in shock, and Sister Mary Margaret might tut-tut in disapproval (whilst secretly being curious), the shop carries on.
This time of year, they have several dioramas in one window, using Barbie dolls in very creative ways in a series based on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Photographing them was a bit of a challenge; I ended up reflected in the glass.
Christmas Past is conventional, reflecting the literary roots of the story...
But Christmas Present is not at all conventional, reflecting the store inside...
And Christmas Future turns that up a notch. Barbie gets lucky indeed. So does Ken (assuming that is supposed to be Ken). Though seriously, the dude's missing some vital pieces to his anatomy...
