C'mon, Barbie, let's go party

It's her 50th birthday this year, an event quite interesting from a women's studies perspective. Think about how much of women's conceptions of their bodies are affected by their childhood playthings. But having been a Barbie doll owner at some point makes me feel that I spent some time with her and she was a part of my childhood, so let's give her props for aging gracefully. After all, plastic will outlast us all...

The exhibit is on until today at the SM Megamall Atrium.
