I love this effect of blending 2 photos together. It works well in creating these atmospheric, macabre images of Goth Cleo.

When I'm in a bad mood, Goth Cleo makes me feel just a little bit better - a little bit vindicated. Rock on, Goth Cleo. Rock on.

I swear this picture has absolutely nothing to do with my inner rage over people stealing my images and passing them off as their own. Seriously.

Goth Cleo - An Explanation ... or at least an excuse ;o)

I've added some of my infamous "Goth Cleo" pics to this blog - and will continue to add more of them as well as create new ones.  But given the dark nature of these shots, I felt I should explain a bit about why I create images of a doll murdering other dolls.  You know - so you don't all think I'm just a psycho who knows way too much about Photoshop.  ;o)

A little over a year ago I was swept up in an unfortunate situation that left me feeling - well - angry.  Not just angry... I would have to include hurt, baffled, horrified, and utterly betrayed among the emotions this situation created for me.  At that point I was really getting into the doll photography - using it as a means of therapy for other crappy things happening in my life at the same time.  And I have to admit - it has been incredibly therapeutic for me.  So I decided to channel my white hot anger and hatred into art.  I figured that was healthier than sitting around and dwelling on a situation I had no real control over.

So born of this anger was Goth Cleo - and while she comes across as a mean, psychotic, evil murderer of Barbie, Ken - hell - anyone who gets in her way - she is actually a cathartic and healing visionary for my bruised and battered psyche.  I will admit these particular images are NOT for children (so if you have found this blog and show the other images to your kids, you may want to forgo the Goth Cleo pics by filtering out that tag.... I much prefer this to receiving angry messages.  Thank you in advance.)  And I encourage you to find your own inner Goth Cleo.  And I promise she's very much like Dexter.  She only kills the bad ones.  :o)

Goth Cleo: Well, Sue... Which way you going, left or right?
Sue: Right!
Goth Cleo: Oh, that's too bad...
Sue: Why?
Goth Cleo: Because it was a 50/50 shot on whether you'd be going left or right. You see we're both going left. You could have just as easily been going left, too. And if that was the case... It would have been a while before you started getting scared. But since you're going the other way, I'm afraid you're gonna have to start getting scared... immediately!
