Barbie
Ball point pen on the morning newsprint
Barbie turned 50 on Monday and is still defying gravity…. I guess it’s true, life in plastic, it’s fantastic!

Mar 11, 09 at 1:50 pmToo funny–I watched on “Sunday Morning” that it was Barbie’s 50th! Makes me feel ancient. I have a friend who just painted her as well! I remember the day, as a child, I got a Barbie doll and I was in heaven. (That was back in the day when Barbie had nice, kind of “coutourier” clothes–now they’re boring!) I guess it’s sort of a female rite of passage. Love this, Larry!

BTW… I know it seems like a trivial subject. There was a story today about the secret inscription in Abraham Lincolns watch that was rumored about, but unveiled for the first time yesterday. Well, I just drew Abe for his birthday so I went with Barbie. The great emancipator looses out to a buxom plastic doll. Ouch!
