The Barbie brand has never been so much in the spotlight. After a movie, a crazy marketing campaign and a billion dollars on the table, Barbie is in better shape than ever, to the great delight of Mattel.
Unsurprisingly, services artificial intelligence celebrating Mattel's heroine quickly emerged. That's how the Bairbie.Me site (which is to Barbie what Adadas and Adidas are to Adidas) came to be. The concept is ultra-simple (and effective). Upload a photo, choose a setting, and let the algorithm work its magic to Barbize you... or Kenize you!
Transform yourself into a Barbie or Ken doll with Bairbie.Me
In its free version, the service is limited to five generations every ten hours, but that's more than enough to have a good laugh seeing the result of the barbisation (or kenisation)!
To have a good laugh, you will therefore first have to go to the Bairbie.Me website and upload a photo that shows your face. The site recommends choosing high-resolution solo photos in which the subject is looking directly at the camera and without glasses.
You will then be able to make some adjustments since some elements are configurable. You can thus choose to be transformed into Barbie ("Bairbie" to try to avoid problems with Mattel) or Ken, a hair color, a skin tone (light, tanned, dark), an ethnicity (white, black, Asian, Latino) and finally a scene (a setting of sorts).
A little more annoying, the site asks you to provide an email address, to send you a link to the generated image.
Once the image is created, its download is free, but you will be entitled to a big watermark. You will have to pay ($1.99) to get a high-resolution version without a watermark. Don't worry, if it's just for fun, you will easily get past the watermark... and if not, well, you will pay.
The rendering of the images produced by Bairbie.me is really nice. We really find the codes that make a Barbie a Barbie (or a Ken). The plastic effect is very present and frankly, I find that I am a real handsome guy as Ken!
If you've used your 5 credits, but turning your friends into Barbie or Ken has become a passion, you'll either have to wait 10 hours (you can ask the site to send you a reminder when your credits are back) or spend $1.98 for 5 more credits.
In conclusion, the excitement around the Barbie brand continues to spread, and services like Bairbie.Me are stepping into the breach to offer fun and innovative experiences. Bairbie.Me manages to capture the essence of the famous doll by transforming us into plastic versions of ourselves. While the free version is limited and marks the images with a significant watermark, it still offers a fun and entertaining experience. For those who want to take the experience further, paid options offer more flexibility.
In short, whether you are a die-hard Barbie fan, a curious person or just looking for a good time with friends, Bairbie.Me is a platform worth checking out.
