While not exactly a story, I did find (of all things) a music video showing a side of Pygmalion's story. What is interesting about this is the ending. The story takes place in the video for the Aerosmith song Hole in my Soul.
The video shows an intelligent, but unpopular student being bullied at school by both sexes. Unknown to him, one girl seems to be interested in him. Using some machine, he is then able to create, and give life to, a woman of his own design. This meets with disaster when his perfect woman develops into another cruel tormentor, leaving him for one of his more popular classmates. Unswayed, he attempts his experiment again, only to have his second Galatea abandon him. The finale shows the student once again about to create a woman, only to be stopped by his secret admirer. He then realizes that 'the perfect woman' is an impossibility, and that what he desired was there all along.
