ohhh, definitely going to have to check that out when I come to town for Arse Elektronika!
Scott, your post made me remember a very controversial Skipper doll that came out in the 70s… “Growing Up Skipper” would grow boobs when you twisted her arm! I did some googling and found this demonstration. Just thought you’d be amused.
Sarah, thanks for posting that! I had that doll as a kid and no one believes me when I tell them about it. Now I know where to find the video evidence. Much appreciated!
