President Barbie

Barbie is 50!! The iconic fashion doll — who doesn't look a day over 20 — made her debut on the shelves on this date in 1959. Although she and her longtime beau, Ken, split in 2004, they are still the best of friends. Barbie and Ken were named for the children of Ruth Handler, creator of the dolls and president of Mattel, Inc. Great Barbie battles have been waged between those who saw Barbie as an exploitation of women and an unrealistic physical image for girls, and those who viewed Barbie as a role model who would encourage girls to become astronauts and businesswomen, scientists and world leaders.

.......她記得，出書當時，跟周玉蔻和某位男主播同台座談，聽著他們講述政治上如何和強權對抗的血淚，和採訪波斯灣戰爭的親身經驗，她只能佩服，同時深感人生需要 「視野」，有了視野，才能讓人不斷熱情地投入，才能永遠有故事的源頭、創作的誕生。因此，不論創作能否以金錢價值計算衡量或以儀器精密操作，不論那到頭來 是否仍無法與整個龐大的資本主義社會對抗而註定失敗，也是個美麗失敗者。
