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 handheld fan and tiny tissues.
3.. 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, two-MuMus 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 cheerleader 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 Alonzo (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.
-
Post-Menopausal Barbie. This Barbie wets her pants when she sneezes,
forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch
watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus
this year, the book "Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self" is included.
