I have a Silkstone Barbie doll. It is a birthday present from my mother.
My Silkstone Barbie doll is made of a very hard vinyl, similar to porcelain. The doll seems
a little bit taller than other Barbie dolls. It has a permanent model's pose. Its right arm is bent
for placement on the hip. Its left leg is bent at the knee. The doll has joints at the neck,
shoulders, hips and waist. The knees do not bend on the doll: the position is permanent. The
curve "on the hip" arm can make the dolls a bit difficult to dress.
The outfits for my Silkstone Barbie doll are full of details and are made of fine fabrics. The
doll is complete with extra clothing and accessories.
The doll is very beautiful. I like playing with it. It always accompanies me when I am
lonely. When I sleep, I always put it beside me. It is really my best friend.

 unconsciously) in the form of body movement, gesture, eye movement and voice.
Body language can help us understand a person's attitude or state of mind. In fact,
studies have suggested that only 7% of communication involves actual words, while 55% is
visual (body language, eye contact) and 38% is vocal (pitch, speed, volume, tone of voice).
Many examples of body language are easy to identify. In most cultures, smiling shows
happiness and a friendly attitude. So, when someone smiles at you, they're telling you that
they're open, interested and happy to communicate. However, if someone crosses his/her
arms on his/her chest, he/she is putting a barrier between himself/herself and you and if this is
combined with a harsh facial expression, watch out as this can indicate hostility.

 being tall! Look how tall I am!" The mouse deer, who heard these words, said, "Nothing like
being short! Look how short I am!"
The camel said, "Well, if I fail to prove the truth of what I said, I shall give up my hump."
The mouse deer said, "If I fail to prove the truth of what I have said, I shall give up my snout."
"Agreed!" said the camel. "Just so!" said the mouse deer.
They approached a garden, enclosed by a low wall without any opening. The camel stood
on this side of the wall and reached the plants within by means of his long neck, making a
breakfast of them. Then, he turned jeeringly to the mouse deer, who had been standing at the
bottom of the wall, without even having a look at the good things in the garden and said, "Now,
would you like to be tall or short?"
Next they approached a garden, enclosed by a high wall, with a wicket gate at one end.
The mouse deer entered by the gate and after having eaten his fill of the vegetables within,
came out, laughing at the poor camel who had had to stay outside because he was too tall to
enter the garden by the gate and said, "Now, would you like to be tall or short?"
Then, they thought the matter over and came to the conclusion that the camel should
keep his hump and the mouse deer his snout, observing, "Tall is good, where tall would do; of
short, again this is also true!"
