America’s Sweetheart
America’s Sweetheart is the perfect parody gift for all you friends. Every guy wants the perfect girl and every girl strives to be the perfect girl. America’s Sweetheart is exactly that, she is society’s rendition of perfection in the form of a playful doll. Her overworked face and adjustable body size are a social commentary on the social constructions mass media has developed for us to fit into. Everyone in agreement with these ideas will love this doll because who doesn’t love to poke fun at fake people with botched botox and badly done face lifts.
America’s Sweetheart is and interactive toy. Included are three faces through the process of her plastic surgery from pre-op. to post-op. Also, she comes with three different hairstyles to go with her various faces. Furthermore, her bust and waste line are adjustable indicating liposuction and breast implants. America’s Sweetheart turns from the average girl into the plastic surgery monster woman like so many others women we have seen in the media.
Through ethnographic research on ‘what is fun?’ it has been discovered that people of this demographic (university students) find things that remind us of our childhood are things we seem to have the most fun with. This toy is a throwback to our old Barbie dolls, the ones that would not be able to function properly or stand up for that matter if they were actually a real woman. Becoming the perfect woman has come to creating something that is completely implausible in the physical world. We all know of these things so why not make fun of them through a cute little doll.
When watching people play with America’s Sweetheart they seemed to be enjoying her and poking fun at the faces that she comes with. They enjoyed the interactivity of the doll with the changeable pieces. Some improvements that were suggested were to make her larger (approximately 14 inches) and for her to actually have an adjustable waist and bust line (these features were not included in the mock up).
America’s Sweetheart is the perfect girl for everyone to enjoy!
