Mattel does not want you to see Barbie's Nipples (or lack thereof)



"You’ve been served". When a Sheriff says this while handing you a sheaf of very official papers...On August 24, 1999 I was served with a 30 some page complaint from Mattel for copyright and trademark infringement. That was the beginning of a new menu for my ‘Food Chain Barbie’ photography project.

In the face of this Federal lawsuit, I knew I had to fight back..."

(Artist Tom Forsythe later won the lawsuit)

1. I had always been disappointed
by the lack of "naughty bits" on my dolls. However, I had a friend with a progressive-minded grandmother who sewed on pretty accurate renditions of the vital missing pieces to all her soft cabbage patch dolls.
