By Barbie it was executed 50. Time of updatings has come...
Cosmetic means here will not help, intervention of real wizards which designers Gareth Pugh and Martin Margiela are is necessary. Their reconsideration of images of Barbie and Ken impresses.

Ken

Ken still the brunette, and Barbie the blonde. But Barbie does not have physiognomy, but at Ken long hair. Ken is wrapped up in all accurate and black, and she as though is undressed, in shorts of corporal colour and a cape from beautiful white (as if own) hair. Ideal fashionable pair. And you would like to play with the such?

Momoko doll

Hardly slanting eyes, thin fragile wrists and anklebones, a small mouth... Dolls Momoko, long-legged as characters anime, harmonous Japanese — since 2001 win hearts of collectors from senior, more glamour and more known competitors.

Originally dolls Momoko were expensive collection objects which easily do not get and cheaply are not bought. For these the first Momoko, known as Petworks Momoko, the price list in some hundreds dollars was sad, but an inevitable reality, as well as short limits in 125-300 copies. When the rights to manufacture of dolls Momoko have passed to Sekiguchi these Japanese maidens really "have come to the people" — the prices have fallen off till 70-80$ for the most inexpensive dolls in rulers, and images became much more youth and various.

God

Here and Gainax Girls, and variations on themes of subcultures (Mama Told Me Momoko carries a leather jacket and a vest with inscription God Save The Doll, KANA Momoko it is dressed on a fashion gothic lolita, Minna-de-Tsukuru Momoko prefers black-pink scale not requiring representation...) But in majority Momoko is a quintessence street fashion, truly Japanese level. These dolls even on shorts will have pastes and tiny prints, and caps will be stitched in all put places.

Doll Momoko — completely on hinges.

The doll belongs to the standard of fashionable dolls of scale 1/6 (easier speaking, "the Japanese Barbie" growth about 27 centimetres). 3-4 dolls for a season, not including the limited special releases usually are issued.

Faces at all dolls Momoko identical, that for a fashion-doll in a standard situation; and here at the expense of a different list and hairdresses each new doll Momoko finds the individual image.

It is necessary to note separately special releases of design dolls Momoko.

These dolls are created in the single copy, and for the ordinary collector to get them it is practically impossible.


RAV4

English drivers consider as the most reliable cars of the Japanese manufacturers — such result has been received after interrogation of 15,000 automobile owners in England, spent magazine AutoExpress. And exclusively English marks have got to a three of the most unreliable cars — Rover 800, Land Rover Freelander and Rover Mini.

In too time the Japanese models have received 18 places from 20 most reliable cars. The three of the most reliable cars includes Toyota RAV4, Mazda 626 and Toyota Yaris. Roadster Porsche Boxster, and the fifth — sedan Lexus IS200 became the fourth on reliability. Company Honda with models Civic, Prelude and CR-V enters in 10 most reliable cars. Cars Peugeot 206 and Peugeot 307 occupy 15 and 16 places accordingly.

The Japanese motor-car manufacturer the most reliable in the world

"Results of interrogation clearly let know that if the reliable car is necessary to you — that you should buy the Japanese car," — the editor-in-chief of magazine Auto Express David Jones speaks. During too time, representatives Land Rover have declared that the updated versions of all models of this mark will receive serious improvements, including in respect of reliability. Company Rover, in turn, so has reacted to results of interrogation: "We had problems with quality of our cars some time ago. However now we give to this question much more attention".

Toyota Yaris — the most reliable Japanese car

Doll heart

The English word doll, under the most widespread version, is formed from Greek eidolon (idol).

The first stage of relations of the person and a doll — a stage of idols. The thought on turning a doll, say, in a sexual rag and to try to play in "daughter-mother", or about, say, to put a doll a head in a toilet bowl in the course of game in the water-nymph, would seem V - VI century BC same blasphemous, what blasphemous the thought would seem to us to do today all the same with the live baby.

By the way, with live babies of business then were absolutely differently: the baby, generally, was created without intention, value by itself, with rare exception, did not represent, and the baby quite could sacrifice to gods, the senior members of a family or spirits of the died ancestors.

The doll became intentionally and embodied the important occult idea: in a doll there could live spirit of the died ancestor, — and to put such doll anywhere a head it would seem, to put it mildly, gesture strange and unreasonable.

On this theme it is possible to argue long, recollecting and those dolls, for which malicious fairies substituted the kid stolen from a cradle, and dolls, which Tatars buried during heavy illness to deceive death, and "pack" — a log in the lady's wears, sacrificed to gods instead of the live lying-in woman.

Baby dollIdea of independent will, malicious or kind "spirit" in a doll little body on the former it is kept, and ability of a doll to "substitute" the person we see in a large quantity the pagan rites which have remained to this day. And dolls-idols — true — still exist, and not somewhere in wild tribes, and in each European city, yes that there — hardly probable not in each quarter. Even the awkward touch to these perfectly executed, bright, remembered creatures appears blasphemy.

And still ourselves, own imagination have given to this doll a certain set of qualities and even if to turn a doll in cellophane and on tens years to put in a church cellar to wait the best times, we again will see before ourselves not a doll, but Maiden Maria. However fall a doll into hands the people not familiar with symbols of Christianity, — and in ten days on a head at a doll the straw hat will flaunt, in prayerfully combined hands there will be a dandelion, and mournful lips will be brought by mum's lipstick — a doll as a doll.
This ability to allocate a doll human qualities also creates all our history of relations with dolls, moreover — explains the fact of their existence, degree of their importance in our life.
