So you worked your ass off, you kept up good grades, you were popular, confident, maybe your dad was an alumn. Good for you. Then you decided to celebrate your admission with ink as permanent as the one drying on your undergrad degree. Only this was on your skin. Cool font, actually, but perhaps you [...]
Mattel’s Barbie needs to take the stick out of her non-existent asshole. After 46 years of portraying an impossible role model for young ladies to pursue, you’d think that she might be able to deal with being the subject matter of São Paulo artist Karin Schwarz, who posed her in sexual positions with other Barbies in her paintings.

Dinkatty-dinkatty, Dink-da-dink, Da-dink, Da-dink, Daaah Dink-Dink!
6 Comments Published by Alex April 12th, 2007 in Art, DIY, events. Share ThisMany have lived for years in our own little bubbles of hate for the urban menace that is Mr. Softee.
