It Could Happen....

I caught this online yesterday and thought I'd share.   While I never thought I SHOULD look like Barbie, it is nice to see a "real life version" of the iconic doll.  But she is a DOLL and most little girls know that. But is it nice to see, just the same.  What do you think?

 

What if Barbie Looked Like a Real Woman?

Some people say that we shouldn't pay attention to the body proportions of Barbie because she is just a toy. On the surface, that sounds like a valid argument. But a closer look, through research, suggests that Barbie may lead to the following…

The above Barbie vs "normal" Barbie images were created with the help of a 3D printed model of a normal woman.

   

This white model was made using measurements that match up closely with CDC measurements of the average 19 year old woman in America.

 
The end result is what Barbie would look like if she was a healthy, beautiful, 19 year old woman.

Back to the MuggleMobile, You Punks

Genius Golfer's baby Camaro is having some minor outpatient "surgery" next week. He actually took the car in Thursday, but they can't get the part until Wednesday, next week, and due to the cramped parking situation at their shop they asked him to bring it back then. In the meantime he doesn't want to drive it. This really isn't a problem, since we have more vehicles than drivers, currently.

So he took the zippy little Civic and I am back to the Mugglemobile. I like my car, don't get me wrong. But I have been driving a gasoline-abstaining vehicle since mid June and the price of filling up that little sipper was CHEAP! Now I am back to reality in my 11-miles-per-gallon beastie as I run around town, PTA-ing, and running errands for the family, and back and forth to the schools. It isn't like I am driving from here to Seattle each week, but I do need to plan my route just as carefully.

This way, I'm reminded I indeed do live in reality and have many more carpool kids to keep track of than I like. This way, I can load and unload all of them in the event of inclement weather. This way, I could drive over the tops of little minicars like some monster truck. This way, I can go back to shopping at our friendly, local Macey's for the 5 cents off gas card they offer. This way, I can drag piles of stuff to football and soccer games that may or may not be used. This is my reality.

But I miss the Civic and I think Reality Bites!
