Reconstructing Barbie

What do you get when you combine fabric scraps, glue, sewing supplies, body image awareness and self esteem? Reconstructing Barbie workshops! Participants change Barbie and Ken dolls to represent themselves as they really are, while enjoying discussions about self esteem, body image and favorite childhood toys. These workshops are popular in residence halls, sororities, and classes like "Clothing and Human Behavior" in the College of Family and Consumer Science. Contact the Women's Center, 472-2597, to schedule one for your group!
