Review of "Mondo Barbie: An Anthologie of Fiction and Poetry"

I got this book years ago at The Ohio Bookstore on Main St. downtown. If you've never been you should go. You get to search 7 floors of books and you're left alone by the staff. The prices are very reasonable too. Everytime I see the book laying around I'm drawn to its pink pages. I bought it for $3.50. It's interspersed with short stories and poems all about Barbie. The themes go from capitalism to classism to feminism to just plain existential and weird to the identity of our toys and how it shapes our identities. Some stories are very sexual or sex body part oriented. It's very provocative and contemporary.
