Something Extra

Barbie's notoriously unrealistic body proportions led artist Nicolay Lamm to design a Barbie with the average  measurements of an American 19 year old.  The results were surprising, and people wanted to buy it!  But they can't, yet. Read about his project and see prototypes here.  See more examples of  the prototypes here.
  1. How is play allegorical for life?   
  2. In the style of Wanek's line "a roll of the dice could send a girl to jail,"which of your poetic lines carries a literal and connotative meaning?  Share them in the comments. 
  3. If  this post was interesting to you, visit  I Killed for You  and Someone's in the Kitchen.  What through-thread do these topics share?
