There is a company in San Francisco -- sorry, can't recall the name -- that is producing Barbie make-overs such as "Trailer Trash Barbie" (complete w/ grubby child on hip), "Biker Ken," "S&M Barbie," and an assortment of others. You can even special order, apparently. They use actual Barbie dolls, and the manufacturer (Mattel?) has so far been unsuccessful at stopping them. Perhaps you could find this enterprise and use their products as a demo in your class!! bt ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.sa.ua.edu/screensite
