As grown up Barbie players ourselves, my wife Anne and I often have a relaxing moment- however it must be pointed out that Barbie MUCH prefers the romantic company of G.I. Joe to the nerdier advances of Ken. I mean really...Ken?

You too have plunged Barbie into unusual situations! The idea of Ken with his bathing trunks on his head in the hot tub--David will like that image, too. (He will see it clearly in his artist's mind's eye.) As for the doll vs. action figure distinction, I remember very well when my son was young and wanted a Bionic Man for Christmas. He got it, but I never gave up trying to convince him that his mother was superior to a Bionic Woman, as I had "all my original parts." Glad you liked the post.P. J.

There was a time when I would send out quirky images of Barbie to my Toastmasters group. The ones I recall most vividly are one of Barbie in a Catwoman costume and another of her in a hot tub with Ken, in which Ken is sporting his swimming trunks on his head!<br /><br />Though I don't collect Barbies, my youngest brother does collect GI Joes. They're not dolls. They're action figures.<br /><br />Should your David happen to have any GI Joes showing some wear and tear among his collection of Barbies, please let him know that there is a Hair Club for Joes that he might find useful:<br />http://www.clubhairforgijoe.com/reflock.php In a pinch, their service might also serve for Barbies having a bad hair day.<br /><br />A very entertaining post Pamela :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-31366136210220034062010-07-24T11:05:19.345-07:002010-07-24T11:05:19.345-07:00I'm going right away to check out the post you...I'm going right away to check out the post you reference.
