Finally, A Barbie I Can Relate To!
At long last, here are some NEW Barbie dolls to coincide with her and OUR aging
gracefully. These are a bit more realistic ...
Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors
(half-frames too!), neck chain and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart
Living.
Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny
drops of perspiration appear on her forehead. Comes with hand-held fan and tiny tissues.
Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow. Available
with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.
Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new, roomier-sleeved gowns.
Good news on the tummy front, too - muumuus with tummy-support panels are included.
Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll
on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then
slip on soft terry mules.
No-More-Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow's-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin
Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.
Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheer-leader is really paying off as Barbie
dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Babs and Ken, Jr. Comes with minivan
in robin-egg blue or white, and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.
Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change, and Fred (her
personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They're hopping in
her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Includes a real tape of
"Breaking Up Is Hard to Do."
Divorced Barbie. Sells for $199.99. Comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, and Ken's boat.
Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now
she does Twelve Steps instead of dance steps. Clean and sober, she's going to meetings
religiously. Comes with a little copy of The Big Book and a six-pack of Diet Coke.
