Tonight at The Valley of the Dolls, Brigitte Coovert will bring her Zombuki creations to LA. Coovert describes Zombuki as a combination of the word zombie and kabuki. These chimeras of the doll world are meant to be a hybrid of many styles and cultures.

Brigitte Coovert lives in Florida with her rat-sidekick, Estlin. In 1996, her first dolls, knock-off Barbies, were altered, quite violently much to the concern of her psychologist father. Coovert tells the story of one of her Barbies being shoved into the hands of Marilyn Manson after a concert, so technically he’s owned her work. After a hiatus, Brigitte came back to dolls when she discovered Pullips in 2005. The first Zombuki Pullip was created in August of 2006. In the time since, over a dozen of the little monsters in the Pullip, Dal, and Blythe mediums, and have found homes across the globe.

Check out these dolls and more tonight from 6-8pm:
The Valley of the Dolls at 8230 Beverly Boulevard in West Hollywood.
