| What Melbourne Identities Would Look Like As Barbie |
The Foodie
Forget tiny plastic kitchens, this Barbie's got a miniature Fitzroy food market stall. We're talking a vibrant pink beret perched on her blonde curls, a tattoosleeve peeking out from under her apron, and a selection of the finest miniature vegan sausage rolls this side of the MCG.

Accessories may include: A tiny keep cup overflowing with a flat white, a miniature tote bag with the slogan "Don't Talk to Me Before Coffee," and a disgruntled-looking hipster Ken with a man bun glued to his head.
The Tram Driver
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
Move over, Dreamhouse! This Barbie's got a tram as her ultimate ride. We're picturing her in a uniform that's somehow both pristine and perpetually covered in a fine layer of glitter. Her fierce gaze is permanently set on rogue cyclists and confused tourists.

Accessories may include: A tiny microphone perpetually set to "NEXT STOP – FLINDERS STREET," a miniature tram timetable with cryptic scribbles, and a miniature pair of earplugs that somehow never quite block out the symphony of tram bells.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
The Laneway Artist
This Barbie isn't afraid to get her perfectly manicured hands dirty. She's rocking a paint-splattered jumpsuit and a mane of hair that's a kaleidoscope of colour. Her most prized possession? A miniature spray can that dispenses the perfect shade of Melbourne laneway green.
Accessories may include: A miniature record player blasting a steady stream of local tunes, a tiny backpack overflowing with paintbrushes and stencils, and a miniature pair of overalls for her equally artistic (and miniature) pet poodle, Phil.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
