My kind of doll!
She comes with lots of accessories:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow. Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 cosmetics.
7. 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.
8. 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."
9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for $199.99. Comes with Ken's house, Ken's car and Ken's
boat.
10. 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.
11. 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.
