4 kids, 20 suitcases and a beagle After 11 years of traveling, I’m embarrassed to admit that I still have no idea how to pack a suitcase properly. I’ve had to memorise a new home phone number in Indonesia, Malaysia, Libya, Canada the US and now I’ve just done it again in the Middle East. The latest adventure is Doha, Qatar. I’ve picked up a few little travelers on the way, the girls are 10 and 8, the boys are 7 and 4.

Artist Gives Barbie Nipples … and a Bad Reputation

4 Jan

Puberty can trigger erratic behavior, and for Barbie, Mattel‘s iconic doll and vision of the feminine ideal, it’s been a particularly unsettled time. After being bestowed with a pair of nipples, the 11.5-inch plastic figurine flung off her underwear, ran off with a skeleton biker and eventually hanged herself.
