Great concept, with the ambiguity surrounding who exactly is the puppet. Fabulous job by the MU to get the frighteningly botox-like doll look favoured by so many puppets of media attention these days.
And sorry for the non Red Bubble-like “trite, polite” non comment.
Actually, I’m not sorry. How can you guage your progress and whether your ideas are working if all you get is “great shot”, “stunning work” or other such insipid, unthought through replies?
This would get a great reaction on dA. Have you ever taken a look at DalaiHarma’s (http://dalaiharma.deviantart.com/) work. She’s also an Adelaide photographer (and a friend, as are her parents, of mine).
How do you get that “frighteningly botox-like doll look? Obviously the model’s expression has a lot to do with it, but I would be very interested in your editing techniques.

brilliant, provocative. Love the treatment on the model’s face, adds to the ambiguity.
