Hey Barbie, how did you do it? One day there you were with nothing more than a zebra-striped bathing suit and a sideways glance, and next thing you're a pop icon. Everybody loves you, girl. In The Art of Barbie, more than 100 artists, photographers, illustrators, and fashion designers--still playing Barbie after all these years--pay tribute to the world's most popular doll. A stunning visual homage, the book features the work of Calvin Klein, Betsey Johnson, Kenny Scharf, Seymour Chwast, Chuck Jones, Janet Woolley, Karl Lagerfeld, Francesco Scavullo, Rev. Howard Finster, Bob Mackie, Yves Saint Laurent, Warhol, and more--with each offering a fresh, surprising, playful, sometimes provocative vision of the original dream girl. 50,000 copies in print.
Editorial : Artists celebrate the Barbie doll in this intriguing collection gathering the works of such diverse names as Andy Warhol, Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Sui. Portraits done in oils, collage, watercolor and ink, and other forms are captured in strong photos and commentary. -- Midwest Book Review

- Why do you need to sample, why not just replay the sample?
- What's the big deal with reissues?
- Producers who didn't start out as Dj's
- Will you sample from a rap record?
If you're just a hip hop head, the quotes from producers are probably the most interesting part of the book. Oprah should put this in her book club so it receives the wide audience it deserves. Within the framework of his narrative, he suggests a number of practical strategies and tactics to overcome them. Take the first step and come join us. If you are finished with your copy, please give it to someone in the waiting room with you next time you take your child in for chemo. Rollins makes a case that this is not merely a problem to "get over", but rather an integral part of spirituality itself, not to be ignored, denied, or medicated. M
