ABSTRACT
The activity of the image-ination can be a wondrous adventure. Even before reproductive hormones kick in, children are fascinated with their images and with the images they create of themselves. They write their names in the sand, or with different colored pens; they write their names over and over again on paper. They draw pictures of themselves in fantasy homes with famous people surrounding them. They become instant fashion designers, script writers, and architects of their various personae. It is tempting to attribute this adolescent obsession to the media's representation of the body as an object of desire. Mindy, a good observer of human nature, attached to her make-believe girls and to her dreams of having a sister and of becoming a teenager. She loves writing procedures in Logo. Her procedures are graphic representations that, when assembled, become computer drawings of girls.
