27 October 1999 - Barbie in our image

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

We Shall Have No Other Doll Before Her

Some complain that Barbie’s proportions are unrealistic. I believe that when divine inspiration moves us to create a plaything in our own image, we shall not stumble. If we are built of carbohydrates, we reduce but little to manufacture Barbie of hydrocarbons. If our heads are filled out with gray matter, we do but scale down to make hers hollow.
