About me:



"When I see these dolls they are like a symbol of hope"

- Annie Lennox

In Bigger than Barbie we follow the women behind the beading project, Monkeybiz and their fight to overcome poverty and HIV/AIDS through contemporary art. We also join the dolls on a fascinating journey from the township Khayelitsha to Donna Karan’s high fashion store on Madison Avenue. From the fashion world of New York, the dolls travel to participate at the 46664 Mandela concert for HIV/Aids in Norway on their quest to become Bigger than Barbie.

The film includes appearances by Desmond Tutu, Donna Karan, Annie Lennox and Nelson Mandela.

When Tina Davis first saw the colourful and quirky Monkeybiz dolls in a friends’ house five years ago, she fell in love immediately. Back then she didn’t know anything about who made the dolls or where they came from. A few months later she came across the dolls in a shop. It was only then that she learnt about the non-profit organisation, Monkeybiz and their amazing work combining arts and empowerment for women from the poorest townships in Cape Town, South Africa.
After her first visit to Cape Town in late 2002, she was convinced that the fascinating story of Monkeybiz and their invaluable work could be made into an uplifting and heartfelt documentary.

The soundtrack includes music by Damien Jr Gong Marley, 1 Giant Leap, Zoë Johnston, Sudha, Jamie Catto and White Lion.

I don't know about you, but I try to keep my tits covered in the winter!

All the best for the New Year to you, and maybe we'll even get to see each other!

Closest we'll get to your neighborhood I think would be Malmo, sometime in July, but I'll be in Europe from mid-June...

Hey Hey Hey! Parisian cab drivers giving
swearing lessons? hahaha! Hilarious! I'd
like to sit in on one of those animated
sessions! Definitely hook your friend up
with my info. I love meeting friends of
the naked ballerina! As for me, I've just
been busy busy busy. Shooting a lot of
random freelance stuff. I got to meet
Al Gore last month. That was cool. I'll
tell you all about it in an email.

hugs and kisses,

Dearest Ballerina,

Lots of love from me to you x x Hope you're OK. It's always this time of year that reminds me of beautiful Shishes, David Mead concerts, Dumbbbb and Dumbbbbber bars and talking until the sun comes up (then going to bed with a bad headache). I miss those things but I miss you more x x
