There were so many ways I could go with this one. It was difficult picking just a few. I chose a brief recap of Barbie's origin -- as an adult-themed gag gift -- a collection of complaints about the body image thing and a timeline that I had to cut down again and again. Man, this was such a rich topic. In the end, though, when I picked up the paper that day and turned to my page, that huge Barbie doll just popped off the page. March 6, 2014
