Pshaw. Her bosom would have gotten in the way.

The city must put a stop to this. Librarians should be given specific instructions to turn away questions from businesses that can well afford to dig up the answers on their own. And they shouldn't be spending taxpayer money on questions like "I am searching for the word that refers to the strange things people use as bookmarks." (An actual example.) Taxpayer-funded research services shouldn't be used as the ultimate source of trivia.
At the same time, NYC has an opportunity to turn the research function from a cost into a revenue stream. Set up a corporate subscription rate. Charge customers for questions that are obviously frivolous. Treat it as a business and market it accordingly. The powerful brand of the New York Public Library could drive a meaningful and profitable information business. It's easy to scale, too. You could add out-of-work librarians and college students to meet the need.
“Miuccia Prada focused on clean late-’50s and early-60s lines, which she called ‘classic, forever shapes,’ and the collection offered a convincing glimpse at the simplicity we may all be craving next season.” (The Independent)
“Another Science Fiction: Advertising the Space Race 1957-1962.”
It was “Mad Men” meets “Flash Gordon.”
It’s hard to know what to be more nostalgic about, all those childhood dreams of space opera or the optimism of an era in which imagination and technology were booming and every other ad ended with a pitch to come work for the thriving company of the future.
$74 is not unheard of for a collector Barbie. I have a couple Bob Mackie designed Barbies and they run about that. The collector Barbies are generally not meant to be played with.Phineas Lamour said:$74 for a Barbie doll? At least there are only 4 of them.
Attention to detail? If the dolls do not come with cigarettes and booze they aren't accurate nor evocative of the show. Draper and company are never without smokes and drinks.“Anybody who likes the show for its attention to detail will get that from the dolls,” he added, which earned approval from him; Janie Bryant, the costume designer for “Mad Men”; and Scott Hornbacher, an executive producer.
As an example of their scrutiny, Mr. Weiner said he told Mattel that the sideburns on the Don Draper doll needed “to be higher” and the haircut needed “to be tighter.”

Feraud said:Those are collector's items and not toys. The price is understandable.
My only gripe seems to be -
