How to Re-attach a Barbie Head (to a Damaged Neck)

Link above was mildly annoying.
Maybe it would have been funny if I had seen it after breakfast,
instead of before.

I was looking for any ways to disguise/fix chewed on Barbie hands.
My mother used to rescue Barbies with chopped off hair or chewed
on hands. Make head gear. Long sleeve mits. Maybe muffs.

I wanted to see things like that. Feet aren't as hard to cover up,
as long as they're not excessively twisted. I wasn't looking for a
joke. The picture in the article was all that was visible before
clicking on the link.

For head gear, one recurring winter project (for Joe or Babs):
Take an adult knit glove. The fingertips, if cut long enough, can be formed into a watch cap.

​

Most adult collectors will just re-root, if the head is difficult to replace.

How to maintain personal space...

Is that a thing, or did she invent that?

Is that a thing, or did she invent that?

Erm, I'm not really sure. I found the image in a list called "26 People Who Need Their Genius To Be Recognised".

Edit - and I thought it could potentially work IRL for anyone who want's others to be a set distance away from their person.

Usually use a grocery cart or basket to keep people out of my personal space while shopping, think cactus's would work well too.

My mother always wanted each of us to push a grocery cart
in the Wal-Mart parking lot so nobody would get run down
by a car.

This is a timelapse video of what normally occurs in about 40 minutes at a topfuel(nitro) dragracing event. The entire engine is disassembled after a run for a total rebuild and to allow it to cool. During that time the clutch is also replaced. After the rebuild,the car is retuned and warmed up for the next round.

The engines are estimated to produce over 10,000 horsepower,but only run for several minutes for burnouts and staging. The actual pass under power is less than four seconds now.

The first time you experience it,it scares the heck out of you from the noise,sends vibrations thru your entire body and shakes the ground. One topfueler idling in the pits about a quarter mile away sounds louder that a train locomotive under power when standing near it.

Standard practice used to be seating the clutch during the warmup,but it is no longer done that way. When the crew chief was reaching for the throttle to "burp" it,no matter how many times you have been to the track,all the observers jump when they mash open the throttle. The pit crews act like nothing happened and are cool as cucumbers.

Warmup and two burps...watch the people that are standing near it

This is a video I found that shows how much vibration the produce all the way up in the bleachers



This is an outdated video of how it all works. These cars will exceed 325 miles per hour in under 4 seconds elapsed time in 1,000 feet of track

If you are interested in seeing all of this in action,please watch this video

This is very far advanced to the shenanigans I have done on the same track running a quarter mile in a modified street machine.
When you are running against a clock and another opponent,the quarter mile seems like the longest road you have ever traveled

Cool a petrolhead, can I learn so much from you? Most of my car knowledge is barely beyond driving and repairing.
