Photoshop: Go into ‘pen tool’ (looks like a caligraphy tip of a pin). Click twice to make two ends of a line (you’ll figure it out). Right click, ’stroke path,’ brush. It’ll make a line to whatever you have the brush set to (width, whatever). Good for straight lines.

On that count, I just found a huge box of naked Barbies with the clothes kind of forming one unmanageable mess at the bottom. I was apparently obsessed with naked girls back then, go figure. If I ever lost socks, I’d totally do this.

I HAVE NEVER LOST SOCKS.
K´s last blog ..I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I’m distracting myself from thinking about it at the moment through this entry

I can barely believe the law enforcement in your town allows you to have scissors. Yet I see serious potential here. quick get a patent…

I LOVE this. I have neither Barbies nor kids nor plans to have either any time soon. But this is awesome. I probably like it extra much because it makes me feel better for wasting time and not writing all day today too. Also, I feel like Barbie’s boobs got smaller from when I was a kid.

Brilliant! I especially love the Thomas the Tank Engine dress. It’s very Moschino!

As a young queer boy, I wish I had known about these sock dresses. I didn’t have Barbie, but Planet of the Apes figures and their was one female doll Zira. I built her and her husband Cornelius, a doll house out of old boxes and scraps of fabric, wallpaper etc. My mom made Zira some clothes, anything was better than that drab green thing she came with, though she did have sexy knee high boots. I wish my mom would have thought of socks. Zira could have had a whole wardrobe!

Great post- funny and informative.

Best, Kelly

HAHAHA! I was the one who gave you Barbie as a revenge against your Mom for giving my boys cap guns when I was determined to raise non-violent children! Now all 6 of you are ruined: 3 of my 4 own or have owned fire arms and 1 actually supports the NRA, and you two grown women exchange ideas on how to dress your Barbies. I should probably have given Barbies to my boys and your dad should have taken you to the shooting range. Too late now.

Whoa! Last night at Whole Foods, as Alec and I were shopping for bread and a can of tuna (the checkout total was somehow in excess of $45), Safety Dance came on. Alec and I typically shop separately because I get distracted and often rather irritable at Whole Foods, so it’s safer that way. When the song came on I rushed to find him, and eventually did in the canned soup section, explaining that I needed to hold his hand and share with him the wonder that is Safety Dance. “It’s your Barbie dance song” he said. Yes, yes it is.

There are two notes I would like to add to your story. First, the top of a men’s dress socks is often a tube, and if you cut just below the cuff and turn it inside out you have a fantastic, though snug, tube dress, tube top, tube skirt, or headband. Second, come summer, one of her many trips to Hawaii or simply getting stranded on a desert island (as she did so often), water balloons make marvelous bikinis. Take the bulb end, cut two holes for legs and you have the bottoms. A tube top can easily be fashioned from the neck end of the balloon. Of course, rubber tube tops and skirts also make fantastic club wear. You can dance if you want to, Barbie.

Where to begin…

1) You’re right. NOBODY can waste time like you.
2) That’s very clever
3) I have a bag full of mismatched socks, so this idea has potential. I wonder if Martha Stewart would use it in her magazine or “It’s a good thing,” segment.
4) I used to dance with my friends to “Safety Dance” in seventh-grade when we were supposed to leave for school.
5) Ken is lame. I used my Luke Skywalker doll as Barbie’s main man.
6) I like the Thomas the Train pix, but in the next one, Barbie’s but is looking a little saggy. Perhaps a cotton ball to fill out her flat butt?
