Barbies as Sirens of the Sea, campaigning for awareness and respect for the primal place from which we long-ago emerged.From their vantage point, atop a shell-encrusted porcelain vase featuring an elegant boy and his dog (from a sunken ship,no doubt) they luxuriate amidst their treasures, which include glass squid and octopus scepters, a vintage Christmas ornamentturned into a jellyfish parasol, three small china mermaids, a sea-horse pin (that can be removed and worn), an enameled crabbox (that can be opened), beads from the dress of the first Rose Bowl Queen (1905).
