- Well, I used to know a girl in Boston who is a bit of a tomboy, and
- is thoroughly revolted by 'girlie' things like dresses and makeup and
- perfume and *PINK*. And she's one of those people who everyone
- loves to tease - in fact she even had her own mailing list at mit
- once (joy-abuse) for people to swap stories of how they pulled her
- leg... Anyway, a year or two back I bought this *PINK* Barbie Doll
- (she prefers Lego btw) with the intention of scanning the pack in
- with a colour scanner, and doing some photo-shop style work on it
- to turn it from a Barbie Doll to a Joy Doll. Unfortunately the
- high-res colour scanner never turned up at work, but if it ever
- does, the doll is still there...
