When I was a girl, my mother hated Barbies with a passion and would not buy them for me claiming that the $4 to $6 price of Barbies back in the 70s was way too expensive. I imagine the dolls she had as a girl during the depression cost about 25 cents. She also had a low self image, and Barbies didn't help. Like most parents, I don't think she could imagine giving her daughter a doll with huge breasts and an itsy-bitsy...
What I can say about this video is THANK YOU! Pickoff white. If you want to get an idea of what the exhibition is about please view this video. It says it all. The annual San Francisco Altered Barbie Exhibition is happening again and this year as always there is something for everyone to see.
