Seven and a half inches? That's pretty tall, I missed that part. I think it's really funny that their main inspiration seems to have been that he LOOKED like a bobblehead (although they may never admit it if they found the idea, uh, elsewhere :) ) I'm still waiting for someone to make that <a href="http://blogs.wnyc.org/culture/2008/07/03/of-matinees-motherships-and-making-joisey-natives-mad/" rel="nofollow">ballet we talked about</A> - ex HP CEO Carly Fiorina, lost in a sea of yes men male fembots in sunglasses and suits, done in a non campy way... :) I would totally buy one too if it was someone in my list!

Too wild: Look! There’s a limited edition Fouad Fakhouri bobblehead doll being offered by The Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra! http://www.fayobserver.com/article?id=304523 Fabulous - thanks for pointing him out, Jolene. I actually found myself signing in to the site to buy it, before (mercifully) realizing that I didn’t actually need a 7.5 inches-high Fakhouri in my living room. However, if it had been someone on my top-five list … Heeheehee – I just added this comment to my original post. Too wild:

It's great that she has such a great sense of humor about herself. And of course her "after" bobblehead would be in a little black dress! Merce Cunningham was looking awfully spry a few months ago! He'd be a cute bobblehead. lol poor Voigt. It’s great that she has such a great sense of humor about herself. And of course her “after” bobblehead would be in a little black dress!

It's been really fun to see critics take to blogging and really enjoy it, from John Rockwell (who's even taken to podcasting!) and your blog, and to hear what you have to say more off the record and on more informal topics like bobbleheads. It's so much fun and more meaningful to add more specialized expertise to the dance buzz online. C, what are your top five bobbleheads?? We never got to hear your list! Hi Claudia!

I think David Hallberg's barbie would look very much like a blonde Ken doll. I thought that there should also be a series of artistic directors' bobbleheads (or dolls). Wouldn't it be fun to have a collection of Kevin McKenzie, Peter Martins, and Helgi Tomasson? :) Hilarious! I think David Hallberg’s barbie would look very much like a blonde Ken doll.

Not to play with, just to sit on my dresser and stare at in admiration, hoping to be them one day, particularly Dorothy Hamill :) -- I was very young! But a Jose Carreno barbie would be really cute. And of course Marcelo and Julie barbies. And of course a David Hallberg barbie. We could actually have lots of fun with that one, taking pictures in various poses and sending them to the Winger?... Actually, I think Alvin Ailey is coming out with a barbie of Judith Jamison! I don’t know about bobbleheads, but I used to love barbie dolls of my favorites.
