I found a Malibu Barbie on the beach after the Fourth of July weekend in S. CA, so I glued it sitting on my bumper with it's arms extended, as if balancing, as a kind of bowspirit.  It has it's bikini on.
  I've gotten many stange reactions from women who notice it:

Obscene gestures, yelling and anger (Santa Cruz)
Laughter, "Let's party (Garberville)
Many weird looks
Everything in between

  It's a kind of litmus test.  Is Barbie a powerful symbol to the women of America?  What does she mean?  Is she the goddess I can never have, and the angry women can never be?  Am I messing with powerful forces here I don't understand?
