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 Alonzo (her personal trainer) 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.
