In Photos: Backstage at Barbie

It simply is amazing the amount of work it must take to put together a show like what is happening right now at NPS. At almost no point do you feel like you're inside a series of tents. Wardrobe hadn't arrived yet when I got there, so I headed to the back to find an army of L'Oreal Paris's makeup artists brushing, powdering, painting and hairing some of the tallest, most weirdly perfect girls and pretty boys you could ever hope to find .

Everyone was focused and I was the only photographer back there, I made my way and shot cautiously, a few flashes to test the waters. Don't want a team of makeup artists with thick Parisian English yelling at me for breaking their concentration! But they paid me little mind, obviously focused on their work, which was fine by me.
