Kier-La is a sweatheart. I met her recently and last year in Austin at Fantastic Fest. She contributed an essay to my new book on Ms.45 where she related to rape/revenge movies and her experiences as a young girl with Barbie and Ken dolls. I laughed and laughed when she mailed it to me!
Excerpt from this damned fine essay:
"The scenario was always the same: Barbie and friends would head out in the Barbie dream camper for a picnic in the country. Barbie would have to go to the bathroom, and since there aren’t any toilet facilities in Barbie’s Dream World (sinks, showers, bathtubs, yes – toilets no), Barbie would excuse herself to go urinate behind a bush. With Barbie in this vulnerable state, Jimmy would lunge out from behind an adjacent bush and ravage her."
Bless her.
