    Has anyone thought to incorporate the role of Ken in all this?  I think Ken is actually a plastic surgeon!! 

    Interesting I think some women might call Ken a "play boy" what does that imply? Ponders if a play boy works at Barbie.

    Humans can walk upright with a variety of appearances. 

    Those not-so-slender people often have more difficulties walking upright than the slender individuals.

    It was said of the cartoon character of Lara Croft, that if a real woman had her proportions, she would never fall flat on her face.

    I once met the girl who was the original model that the game used - she would never have fallen on her face, for a start men would be flinging themselves to the floor to prevent any injury and secondly she was an accomplished acrobat

    Apparently Lara Croft's biggest assets are due to a slip of the mouse:

    "The lady looked impressive all over, far more realistic than other games even attempted. Complete realism wasn't possible, of course, and Gard intended Lara to have somewhat exaggerated dimensions from the start. While making test adjustments to her girlish figure, a slip of his mouse turned an intended 50% increase to her breast size into a 150% gain. It met with instant approval from the team before he could correct it."

    With knockers like that, the simple task of staying upright could be described as an acrobatic act!!!
