Certainly our imaginations were better developed before video games, but I'm not sure that the clothes were ever couturier or they just seemed that way to a six year old. 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! Funny how we remember things.

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!
