Architect Barbie to Be a Barbie at Last

She’s going to come with a tiny version of The Fountainhead, and she’s going to be an asshole. “There is not a person in New York City who should be allowed to live in this dreamhouse,” she’ll say if you press her back. Also, “If you want my advice, Peter, you’ve made a mistake already. By asking me. By asking anyone. Never ask dolls. Not about your work. Don’t you know what you want? How can you stand it, not to know?” And if you put her in a drawer she’ll build something to set herself free, and then hiss at you from the opened drawer, “You know that I hate you, [your name]. I hate you for what you are, for wanting you, for having to want you. I’m going to fight you — and I’m going to destroy you … I will hurt you through the only thing that can hurt you — through your work. I will fight to starve you, to strangle you on the things you won’t be able to reach. I have done it to you to today — and that is why I shall sleep with you tonight.” It’s going to be pretty upsetting actually.
