#2 Ah, yes, I remember that one as well. Some very interesting "poses", gave a whole new meaning to "My Little Pony".

#3 Lol!

Obligatory question: "But is it art?"
PC-Correct answer: "Of course! If the artiste proclaims it, it must be art!"

He should've entered his collection in the Turner Prize competition...

#4 More like LLL social experiment propaganda than art.

I understand the problems with the "Barbie" self-image issues, but little girls still love playing with them--the same as little boys love playing with toy guns and action figures. As an early childhood educator, I don't see a problem with either, as long as there are other toys available and adults don't prescribe toy/play choices.

I feel sorry for Mattel, and for the little girls that see his "art." Bastard.

#5 The original Barbie doll was a tramp in a maid outfit sold in France as a gag gift for batchelor parties. The CEO's wife saw/bought one on a trip they took to France. She had the company re-market the doll back in the states and the rest is history. - sort of explains why Barbie is unusually top heavy.
