I mean, they reflect the Zeitgeist.
They can (make us) think.

Le bambole riflettono.
Cioè, riflettono lo spirito del tempo.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">This is Barbie’s miniature book found in <b>1965’s
Slumber Party</b> outfit and among those bit & pieces of my vintage
collection. The question is not “Oh, lovely booklet” or “Yes, it’s right! After
the Festive Season everybody must diet!”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"> </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">NO. The question is that the 1965’s lifestyle
model conveyed by Barbie wanted <b>an imperative as absolute and dis-educational
as stopping eating</b> to be the solution for all those unhappy moments of a
teenage model with<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>a teenager appetite -
instead of suggesting “Do sport” or recommending some other wiser tips.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">The outfit included a scale, too, and this
scale was set to a weight almost equivalent to 50Kg - which is not a too
strange weight, I mean. Nevertheless, <b>the scale was removed </b>from the outfit one year
later. What wasn’t removed or replaced is the miniature “DON’T EAT” book.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">So, what’s the babyboom years’ message? <b>An
incomplete message</b>, where a scale is a scandal and a “DON’T EAT” is a strategy.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"> </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">And the evolution of this concept? Still inconsistent
IMO.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">I copy <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2239931/1965-Slumber-Party-Barbie-came-scales-set-110lbs-diet-book-telling-eat.html" target="_blank">from a Daily mail article</a>: “</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">These days, a healthier body image is being impressed
upon young girls who wish to play with a bedtime Barbie. Barbie Pyjama (sic!)

a hairbrush <b>and a mug of hot cocoa</b>.”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"> </span></div>

che il modello di stile di vita veicolato da Barbie nel ’65 comportava un <b>imperativo
così assoluto e diseducativo come smettere di mangiare</b> quale soluzione per quei
momenti un po’ infelici di una modella diciannovenne con un appetito da
diciannovenne – anziché suggerire “Fa’ sport” o dare più sagge raccomandazioni.</span></span><br />

anche una bilancia e questa bilancia era bloccata su un peso più o meno equivalente

bilancia fu rimossa</b> dalla confezione l’anno successivo. Quel che non fu rimosso

dello stesso concetto? Secondo me, ancora incoerente. Copio (e traduco) da un
articolo del Daily Mail: “Oggi, si vuole imprimere un’immagine del corpo più
sana nelle bambine che giocano con una Barbie vestita per andare a dormire. La
Barbie</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"> Pyjama (sic!) viene venduta con accessori come una lampada da
lettura, una mascheraper gli occhi per dormire indisturbata, un detergente per
il viso, uno specchio, un coniglietto da coccolare, una spazzola <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">e una tazza di cioccolata calda</b>.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">Io penso che
questo sia ancora un messaggio poco intelligente da rivolgere a <b>una società</b> (e
a una comunità di collezionisti) <b>in prevalente sovrappeso</b>.</span><br />

Election Sunday here in Milan, with <b>second ballot in two days to elect our Mayor</b>. And I bumped into this late nineteenth century <b>electoral gadget</b>: a doll-soap (or soap-doll, in you prefer)! Should I somehow mean that politics is never enough clean? Or that politics makes bubbles?<br />

Domenica di voto a Milano con <b>ballottaggio tra due giorni per la scelta del nuovo sindaco</b>. Io mi sono imbattuta in qsto <b>gadget elettorale fine 800</b>: una bambola-saponetta (o saponetta-bambola, se volete)! Devo forse intendere che la politica non è mai abbastanza pulita? O che fa le bolle?<br />

It took an intriguing<b> mail from ARTSY***</b> to bring me <b>back to the blog</b>. Plus some changes in my life, now allowing more motives to be here, with a kind of <b>manifesto in 3 points</b>.<br />
1. Doll Cult-ure is <b>interstitial</b>: dolls are found even where you don't expect them<br />
2. Doll Cult-ure is <b>no mainstream</b> (if not occasionally), and this reflects the way I am<br />
3. Doll Cult-ure is <b>transversal </b>- it can say "doll" and mean food, art, fashion, design, travel, sensitive issues, entrepreneurship and joy of living.<br />

Ci voleva un'intrigante<b> mail di ARTSY***</b> per ricondurmi <b>ancora al blog.</b> Più qualche cambiamento di vita, che ora mi dà più motivi per essere qui, con una sorta di <b>manifesto in 3 punti</b>.<br />
1. Doll Cult-ure è <b>interstiziale: </b>le bambole le trovi anche dove non te le aspetti<br />
2. Doll Cult-ure <b>non è</b> <b>mainstream</b> (tranne in rare occasioni), e questo mi riflette per come sono<br />
3. Doll Cult-ure è <b>trasversale </b>- può dire "bambola" e intendere cibo, arte, moda, design, viaggi, temi scomodi, imprenditorialità e gioia di vivere.<br />

*** ARTSY, whose mission is making all the world’s art accessible to anyone, realized that my dollcultural approach is doing something similar.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For timeline reasons, I'll prepare two separate posts.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">C’era una volta una bambola di carne e ossa, aveva dei sogni e quei sogni, poco per volta, una briciola per volta, le vennero portati via. La carne si trasformò in porcellana e le ossa in molle d’acciaio: La sua volontà, la sua sessualità e la sua libertà svanirono insieme ai sogni. Rinchiusa in una gabbia di parole, di accademismo e di stereotipi non si accorgeva che poco distante dai suoi piedi, sospesa sotto di lei, c’era la speranza. Ora solo lei può liberarsi, basta che guardi…</span><br />

<b>Some of my dolls</b> belong, IMO, to those (just imaginary?) creative, young, urban, sensitive, digital, travelling, eclectic sociable people who love<b> going places and experiencing new products and eating new foods maybe sharing online</b> that all. So when they learnt I didn't bring them with me to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uT6tQYrHxw" target="_blank">#areyoufun party in Milan - Toyota #AYGO première</a>, they were very jealous of me. Even more jealous, discovering for instance, an incredible buffet where <b>drinks looked like gelées or lipgloss</b> (I'd say that Ivana Carmen Mottola of #foodhouse had an amazing serving idea) or seeing my <b>autoironic #selfie</b> at the entrance.<br />

Così, quando hanno scoperto che non le ho portate con me al <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uT6tQYrHxw" target="_blank">party #areyoufun a Milano per l'anteprima della Toyota #AYGO</a>, sono state molto gelose di me. Ancor più gelose nello scoprire, per esempio, un incredibile buffet dove i <b>drink</b> apparivano sotto l'aspetto di <b>gelées o lucidalabbra</b> (direi che Ivana Carmen Mottola di #foodhouse ha avuto una stupefacente idea per servirli) e nel vedere il mio <b>autoironico #selfie</b> all'ingresso.<br />

about erotic dolls or so (just search within the blog with the keyword real
doll, sex doll or dummy).<b> Gaialight and Mila's is a different case</b>. While the
first is a visual artist sensitive to the <b>infinite reproducibility of
experiences</b>, the latter is a sort of giant doll - actually, she's a beautiful,
vintage life size fashion dummy - travelling the world together. Mila becomes<b> a kinda second observer by Gaia's sid</b>e, and mirrors transformations. </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Please read the artist's statement below:</span></span></div>

She has been living with me ever since, offering the opportunity to portray her on a daily basis, building a relationship with her <span class="il">light</span>-driven moods and the always-mesmerizing expressivity of her inanimate-ness. The focus of this ongoing, serial documentary project is to symbolically and symbiotically catch glimpses of Humanity itself, yet furtive glimpses through the dialogue of our reciprocal regard – or, to detect in the inanimate the animate, and to find presence beyond mere appearance. As mirror, and as simulation, Mila’s darker moods (as those of mannequins in store windows all over the world) reflect our own sometimes catatonic condition. Her more festive moments, in turn, are peculiar characterizations of other times and other places, an elsewhere effected primarily through her playful (girlish) choice of hairstyle, makeup, and attire, while her return gaze is utterly beyond reproach and somehow mocks all attempts to document and/or fathom these moods.</i></span></span><br />

all’interno del blog con le parole-chiave “real doll”, “sex doll” o anche “dummy”).
<b>Ma qllo di Gaialight and Mila è un caso diverso</b>. Mentre la prima è un’artista
visuale sensibile all’<b>infinita riproducibilità delle esperienze</b>, l’altra è una
specie di bambolona gigante – un bellissimo manichino vintage da vetrina a
grandezza naturale – e girano il mondo insieme. Mila diviene <b>una specie di

è un manichino a grandezza naturale trovato e acquistato su Internet circa due anni fa. Da allora vive con
me, dandomi modo di ritrarla ogni giorno, costruendo un rapporto con i suoi
umori dettati dalla luce e l’espressività sempre ipnotizzante del suo essere
inanimata. Il focus di qsto progetto documentario continuativo e seriale è catturare,
simbolicamente e <span style="font-family: inherit;">simbioticamente, sguardi dell’Umanità stessa, e ancora sguardi
furtivi tramite il dialogo del nostro reciproco guardarci – o scoprire l’animato
nell’inanimato e trovare presenza oltre l’apparenza. In quanto specchio, e come
simulazione, i momenti più cupi di Mila (come qlli dei manichini nelle vetrine
di tutto il mondo) riflettono la nostra
a volte catatonica condizione. A loro volta invece, i momenti più festosi sono
caratterizzazioni peculiari di altri tempi e di altri luoghi, un altrove
primariamente realizzato per effetto delle sue giocose (infantili) scelte di
acconciatura, trucco e abbigliamento, mentre lo sguardo che lei restituisce è totalmente
al di là del rimprovero e in qualche modo mima tutti i tentativi di documentare
e/o afferrare questi stati d’animo.</span></i></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<strong>Beyond paper dolls, beside Cardboard Ladies. </strong>Taking inspiration from <a href="http://www.christiantagliavini.com/portfolio/portfolio.php?idcat=1" target="_blank">Christian Tagliavini's Dame di Cartone</a>, the blogger(s) named Sabine & Pierre-Paul Manosque 1) crafted doll-sized finely printed cardboard dresses, 2) created backgrounds to match and 3) made a beatiful shooting of these vinyl girls in bidimensional outfits. Please enjoy <a href="http://manosque.canalblog.com/archives/2014/03/08/29385874.html" target="_blank">the full story, here</a>. But what I really love, is <strong>how influencing and impactful a creative idea can reveal</strong>, how generous, alive and unpredictable the development of its interpretations. Knowing him, I wonder whether Christian, when he invented his series with models clad in <strong>papercut paradigmatic costumes</strong>, already wanted to create a visual statement. However, the Manosques just didn't imitate him, but translated <strong>the mood and the method in a different scale</strong> - a dollcultural one, this time - and challenged the <strong>deceptive passage from 2 to 3 dimensions</strong> as well.<br />

<strong>Oltre le bambole di carta, accanto alle Dame di cartone</strong>. Ispirandosi appunto alle <a href="http://www.christiantagliavini.com/portfolio/portfolio.php?idcat=1" target="_blank">Dame di Cartone di Christian Tagliavini</a>, i blogger chiamati Sabine & Pierre-Paul Manosque hanno 1) confezionato abiti da bambola in cartone finemente stampato 2) creato sfondi coordinati e 3) realizzato un magnifico shooting qste ragazze di vinile bidimensionalmente vestite. Godetevi <a href="http://manosque.canalblog.com/archives/2014/03/08/29385874.html" target="_blank">l'intero servizio, qui</a>. Ma ciò che veramente amo è <strong>quanto influente e d'impatto possa rivelarsi un'idea creativa</strong>, quanto generoso, vivo e imprevedible lo sviluppo delle sue interpretazioni. Conoscendolo, mi chiedo se Christian, quando ha inventato la sua serie con modelle abbigliate in <strong>costumi paradigmatici ritagliati</strong>, già volesse creare un punto di riferimento visuale. I Manosque cmq non l'hanno imitato, ma hanno tradotto <strong>il mood e il metodo in una differente scala</strong> - dollculturale, stavolta - e hanno così sfidato anche loro <strong>l'ingannevole passaggio tra le 2 e le 3 dimensioni</strong>.</div>

An <b>architectural OOAK doll house</b>. This one, by Adjaye Associated, in collaboration with Base Models and the artist Chris Ofili, is the most doll-housish of all. It's part of a charity auction to raise funds for KIDS, an association supporting disabled children and their families. The <b>other projects</b> were, in my opinion, mostly <b>too self-referential to the architect's mood</b> - not attractive, not usable, not made for play.

The eternal idea of double, Doppelgänger, mini-me, finds now a new name in "selfie". And OK, dolls can be selfies. Some of them are statuettes, some are BJDs, and incredible looalike of their human original. <b>Would you immortalize yourself or a beloved one in a doll?</b> Or are you allergic to fetishes?<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><br />

Leaving lookalikeness apart, there is <b>something extremely languid and introspective in certain OOAK dolls</b>, possibly not made for play - or who said it, who knows? This is the case with my articulated resin doll by Veronica Menna aka Strawberryjdolls. When you hold her in your hands, you would say she's <b>made with little, lovely bones.</b><br />

<b>Dopo un lungo silenzio #dollculturale</b>, solo occasionalmente interrotto da brevi post qui sul blog, e almeno alimentato da un più interattivo movimento su facebook e da una vita reale ancora più intensa, ecco <b>qualche spizzico e boccone</b> dell'anno passato, mentre provo ad immaginarmi un aDOLLrabile 2014. Nel nuovo anno mi propongo <b>altre esplorazioni #dollcultural in regni doll-contigui.</b><br />

<b>Casa di bambola OOAK d'architetto</b>. Quella all'inizio del post, di by Adjaye Associated, in collaborazione con Base Models e con l'artista Chris Ofili,è la più casa-di-bambolesca di tutte. Fa parte di un'asta benefica per raccogliere fondi a favore di KIDS, associazione che aiuta materialmente dei bambini disabili e le loro famiglie. <b>Gli altri progetti</b> erano, a mio parere, perlopiù <b>troppo autoriferiti al mondo dell'architetto</b> - non attraenti, non usabili, non fatti per giocare.

<strong>Veronica Menna</strong> and her <strong>totally handmade BJDs</strong>, I've already written about her: check this blog on June 16 in 2012. Now she has just been <strong>awarded a prize</strong> in Milan - <strong>V ConCorso Buenos </strong>Aires - and this evening her dolls will meet a new audience in <a href="http://www.openartmilano.it/finalisti.htm" target="_blank">Corso Buenos Aires Open Art Gallery</a>. I wrote her catalogue presentation. I'm proud of this - young, not-ordinary, so sensitive - dollcultural creator. <br />

<strong>Veronica Menna</strong> e le sue <strong>BJD completamente fatte a mano</strong>. Di lei ho già scritto, andate a vedere il post del 16 giugno 2012. Ora ha appena <strong>vinto un riconoscimento </strong>qui a Milano - al <strong>V ConCorso Buenos Aires</strong> - e stasera le sue bambole incontreranno un nuovo pubblico<a href="http://www.openartmilano.it/finalisti.htm" target="_blank">, presso la Open Art Gallery</a>. Ho scritto la sua presentazione per il catalogo. Sono orgogliosa di qsta creatrice dollculturale - giovane, non banale, così sensibile. <br />

But in this <strong>doll in its iron lung</strong>, dating back to 30s-50s, there’s <strong>nothing morbid</strong>. There is rather an intention that I would define tender, noble, responsible: making a child (and his/her family) understand the reality of an invalidating condition. Many times and in many ways, <strong>toys did help parents, physicians, teachers</strong> coping with such highly sensitive issues: by adopting an experiential medium; miniaturizing the same situation; giving the child <strong>an alter-ego</strong>, maybe even more seriously disabled, to watch over and to take care of. </span><br />

This plastic doll in its own model iron lung was made in order to show child polio patients and their family the treatment the child would receive. An iron lung assists a patient whose breathing muscles have been paralysed by disease. Although the heyday of the iron lung was <strong>during the 1930s, 40s and 50s</strong>, some elderly polio survivors are still using them. The teaching doll was used at the Lord Mayor Treloar Orthopaedic Hospital in Alton, Hampshire, England. Founded in 1908, the hospital was originally opened to provide specialised treatment for children with orthopaedic conditions, mainly caused by tuberculosis and, later, polio. The hospital combined treatment of the physically disabled with education and schooling.”<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><strong>“Morboso” deriva dal latino “morbus”, </strong>cioè malattia. Ma in qsta
<strong>bambola nel polmone artificiale</strong>, anni ’30-50, non c’è niente di morboso. Anzi,
c’è un intento che definirei tenero, nobile, responsabile: quello di far
comprendere a un bambino (e alla sua famiglia) la realtà di una situazione
invalidante. <strong>I giocattoli</strong> sono spesso venuti in <strong>soccorso</strong> in vari modi a
<strong>genitori, medici, educatori</strong>, in simili questioni altamente sensibili. Facendosi
tramite esperienziale. Riproducendo in piccolo la stessa situazione. Dando al
bambino <strong>un alter-ego</strong>, magari anche più grave, da osservare e curare. </span></div>

fu fatta per mostrare ai bambini poliomielitici e alle loro famiglie le terapie
che i piccoli pazienti avrebbero ricevuto. Il polmone artificiale assiste un
paziente la cui muscolatura toracica è stata paralizzata dalla malattia. E benché
il suo picco di utilizzo si sia verificato <strong>negli anni ’30,’40,'50,</strong> alcuni anziani
malati di polio se ne servono ancora. La bambola didattica fu usata presso l’ospedale

quest’esperienza <strong>ancora più coinvolgente</strong> sono stati inseriti nel programma
altri eventi e ospiti, ed è stato lanciato in rete <strong>un contest di filmati</strong>. <strong>Il suo titolo è “L’ultimo

personale comfort food. Tutte le opere pervenute potranno essere votate online,
e i primi 3 autori classificati saranno invitati a Venezia a preparare e condividere
il loro piatto nel corso di una degustazione speciale. Per aggiornamenti e per

Under the <strong>intricate lines and broken stitches of yet suggestive, colorful sewn drawings,</strong> by means of a traditional female art like embroidering, she tells <strong>stories about women in her contemporary Egypt</strong> and North-African context. Stories on <strong>domestic and erotic subjects</strong> – women kissing and touching themselves or each other, mushy love phrases – simultaneously denouncing a state of things, <strong>an untold reality,</strong> an underlying violence, a contradictory condition.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

E protesta. Sotto <strong>le linee intricate e i punti interrotti ma colorati di disegni cuciti pieni
di bei colori e di allusioni,</strong> per mezzo di un’arte tradizionalmente femminile
come il ricamo, racconta <strong>storie di donne nel suo Egitto di oggi</strong> e nel contesto
nordafricano. Storie con <strong>temi domestici ed erotici</strong> – donne che si baciano,
che si toccano da sole o tra di loro, frasi d’amore sdolcinate – simultaneamente
denunciando uno stato di cose, <strong>una realtà non detta</strong>, una violenza sottesa, una
condizione contraddittoria.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Barbie version by Jocelyne Grivaud of Magritte's work "L'Evidence éternelle". Is this kind of reloaded Venus a self-explaining eternal <strong>evidence of beauty?</strong> Or is it, by contradiction, the <strong>elusive evidence of transience</strong> itself?<br />
<br />

<br />
Versione Barbie, realizzata da Jocelyne Grivaud, dell'opera di Magritte "L'Evidence éternelle". E questa Venere rivisitata è allora un'evidenza, cioè un'evidente prova, <strong>un'eterna dimostrazione della bellezza</strong>? O non piuttosto, per contraddizione, una <strong>prova elusiva della caducità</strong> stessa?<br />

A vintage Barbie has never been <strong>so sexy, allusive, elusive</strong>. So blurred and understated.<br />
Please check <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/When-Is-A-Doll-Not-A-Doll/713267" target="_blank">this wonderful series </a>of doll faces and bodies portrayed by Larry Torno.<br />
*<br />
Una Barbie vintage non è mai stata <strong>tanto sexy, allusiva, elusiva</strong>. Così sfocata e sottintesa. Date un'occhiata a <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/When-Is-A-Doll-Not-A-Doll/713267" target="_blank">qsta meravigliosa serie</a> di volti e corpi di bambole ritratti da Larry Torno.<br />

Although the hashtag on the photo is not the correct one (btw, correct is #snellobb02), <strong>my ham taster Momoko doll </strong>played her role quite well during "<a href="http://www.mondosnello.it/mondosnello/blindbox-2/" target="_blank">Snello Blindbox 02 - Snello d'Estate</a>" event, and I must thank the nice foodblogger <a href="http://www.spadellatissima.com/" target="_blank">Lina D'Ambrosio aka Spadellatissima!</a> for taking this lovely, unofficial picture. We (my partners and I at <a href="http://www.foodthings.it/" target="_blank">Foodthings</a>) were, are and will be committed in the realization of <strong>experiences involving families, foodbloggers, companies, products</strong>. The challenge is the way we do it. The mood we create. The memory we seed. The expectation we foster. The word we spread. The words we use.<br />
*<br />
Anche se l'hashtag sulla foto non è qllo corretto (che sarebbe invece #snellobb02), <strong>la mia Momoko degustatrice di prosciutti</strong> se l'è cavata abb bene nel suo ruolo durante l'evento "<a href="http://www.mondosnello.it/mondosnello/blindbox-2/" target="_blank">Snello Blindbox 02 - Snello d'Estate</a>", e devo ringraziare una foodblogger molto carina, <a href="http://www.spadellatissima.com/" target="_blank">Lina D'Ambrosio aka Spadellatissima!</a> per qsta deliziosa immagine non ufficiale che ha scattato. Noi (io e i miei soci di <a href="http://www.foodthings.it/" target="_blank">Foodthings</a>) eravamo, siamo e saremo impegnati nell'invenzione di esperienze <strong>capaci di coinvolgere famiglie, foodblogger, aziende, prodotti.</strong> La sfida è il modo in cui lo facciamo. L'atmosfera che creiamo. Il ricordo che seminiamo. L'attesa che istilliamo. La voce che spargiamo. Le parole che usiamo.<br />

<a href="http://mikodesign.bigcartel.com/product/frida-craft-panel"></a><strong>Frida as a doll </strong>(not for the first time, BTW). Or a dollie. Or a pincushion. Or a hanger. Or an amulet. Well, basically, this idea by Miko Design is a <strong><a href="http://mikodesign.bigcartel.com/product/frida-craft-panel" target="_blank">printed fabric ready for crafting</a></strong> your little projects. I like this approach: creativity from the manufacturer's side and <strong>complicity</strong> on the interpreter/collector's side (visit the website to find and buy other little dolls and lovely pets you can <strong>cut, stuff and sew </strong>with your own hands)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Frida bambola</strong> (non per la prima volta, tra l'altro). O bambolina. O puntaspilli. O ciondolo. O amuleto. beh, in sostanza quest'idea di Miko Design è un <strong><a href="http://mikodesign.bigcartel.com/product/frida-craft-panel" target="_blank">tessuto stampato pronto per lavoretti</a> </strong>personali. Mi piace quest'approccio: creatività dal lato produttore e complicità dal lato interprete/collezionisita (sito da visitare, per trovare e acquistare altre bamboline e animaletti da tagliare, imbottire, cucire a mano)!</div>

<strong>Despite</strong> her manifacturer's assumptions and related press offices' statements, the Fashion-Doll-I-Refer-To will be<strong> not</strong> be <strong>forever young.</strong> Might as well getting used to lingerie for more mature women.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>A dispetto</strong> delle supposizioni del suo fabbricante e delle dichiarazioni degli uffici stampa addetti, la-Fashion-Doll-Cui-Mi-Riferisco <strong>non sarà giovane per sempre</strong>. Tanto vale abituarsi a lingerie da donna più matura.<br />

Inside and outside. <strong>An openable Madonna</strong> from ca 1400, reveiling, like internal organs, a sculpted Trinity. An ancient, <strong>surgery concerned</strong> (or simply related to surgical education ) <strong>dummy</strong>. <strong>A colorful Barbie anatomy</strong>, artistically revised by Jason Freeny. What do they have in common? I think they share the eternal and extreme <strong>mystery of life and transformation</strong> - from spiritual to natural to surgical - with the human intervention of<strong> </strong>plastic art, or of <strong>plastic tout-court</strong>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Dentro e fuori. <strong>Una Madonna apribile del '400</strong>, che rivela, come fossero organi interni, una Trinità scolpita. <strong>Un modellino antico</strong> sul problema della chirurgia (o semplicemente volto all'insegnamento della stessa). <strong>Una coloratissima anatomia di Barbie</strong>, rivisitata artisticamente da Jason Freeny. Che cos'hanno in comune? Io penso che condividano <strong>l'eterno ed estremo mistero della vita e della trasformazione</strong> - dallo spirituale al naturale al chirurgico - con l'intervento dell'arte plastica, o della <strong>plastica tout-court</strong>.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Again a commistion <strong>between my professional and
my dollcultural side</strong>. The occasion? When we headed for a briefing on site to a
wonderful, minimal space called <strong>InKichenLoft: the location chosen</strong> for our next marketing
event. There we’ll hold in a few days a <strong>foodblogger contest</strong> – please note,<strong> male
foodbloggers</strong>, or heroes if you prefer, and socialmediatic animals very active
online. Their challenge is the second one in the Snello Blind Box series, where
blogger must create something original based on mystery ingredients one of
which is for sure a <strong>Snello Rovagnati</strong> product such as ham, turkey, bresaola… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

timing check, Q&A session with the staff… and a collateral dollcultural
shooting, since I now tend to have a<strong> doll as an alterego</strong> in these missions. A
doll is still <strong>something unusual and memorable</strong> in a foodie enviromment. And I’m
taking advantage of this. She – a MOD looking Momoko doll this time - does <strong>her graceful
part of branding</strong>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Ancora una commistione

in loco presso uno spazio bellissimo e minimale chiamato <a href="http://www.inkitchen.it/it/home-page" target="_blank"><strong>InKichenLoft: il luogoprescelto</strong></a> per il nostro prossimo evento marketing. Lì a giorni terremo un
contest per foodblogger – <strong><a href="http://www.mondosnello.it/mondosnello/blindbox-2/blogger/" target="_blank">foodblogger uomini</a></strong>, faccio notare, o eroi se
preferite, veri animali socialmediatici molto attivi online. La loro sfida è la
seconda della serie Snello Blind Box, in cui i blogger sono chiamati a creare qualcosa
di originale sulla base di ingredienti misteriosi, uno dei quali è scuramente un
prodotto <strong>Snello Gusto e Benessere Rovagnati</strong> come prosciutto, tacchino, bresaola…

che ultimamente tendo ad avere <strong>una bambolina come</strong> <strong>alter ego</strong> in qste uscite. Una<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>bambola è ancora qlcosa di insolito in un
ambiente foodie, quindi <strong>la si ricorda</strong>. Io ne approfitto. Lei - una Momoko dall’aria

Who' is she? <strong>A melancholic and nameless figurine</strong> (recalling contemporary Chinese artworks) spotted by my business partner and NOT doll collector Emanuele, who has nevertheless the tenderness to report interesting <strong>dollcultural finds even when not solicited</strong>. I'm grateful for this.<br />

E qsta chi è? <strong>Una figurina malinconica e senza nome</strong> (che ricorda lavori di arte cinese contemporanea) beccata dal mio socio e NON doll dollector Emanuele, che ha nondimeno ka tenerezza di segnalare interessanti <strong>ritrovamenti dollculturali anche senza bisogno di sollecitarli</strong>. Di qto sono grata.</div>

This is a <strong>Bruce Lee</strong> to cut and dress, evidence of how cult characters from non frivolous distance can be <strong>paperdollified</strong>. Print, cut and play? Pls notice the <strong>realistic kick-print </strong>on the yellow jumpsuit.<br />

Qsto è un <strong>Bruce lee</strong> da tagliare e vestire come una bambola di carta, prova concreta di come figure di culto provenienti da distanze non frivole possano essere <strong>paperdollizzate</strong>. Stampa, taglia e gioca? Da notare <strong>l'impronta di un calcio, realistica,</strong> sulla tuta gialla.<br />
