It's My First Gay Man Friend for Barbie!
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | February 28, 2008 at 12:40 PM
judi, you forgot to add NTTAWWT!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Darn. It's only being sold in San Francisco.
(see the enlarged photo for detail. LOVE the pink tux and lavender vinyl vest!)
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Shouldn't the box be shaped like a closet?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Lizzy, so your Barbie's like a fag hag? (nttawwt)
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Is that a c*ck ring dangling from his neck??
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 12:45 PM
I always thought Midge had the hots for Barbie.
btw - I have the "Divorced Barbie." She comes with all of Ken's stuff.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Hm. They forgot to put a tribal band tattoo around his left arm. (NTTAWWT)
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 12:46 PM
Big Ol' Snork @ Annie!
Posted by: Meditrina | February 28, 2008 at 12:53 PM
One of my alltime fave videos from SheTV - the Barbie Bar. (skip Al Franken if you want and go to around 3:30)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Who's that in the car with him? Liberace?
Posted by: Layzeeboy | February 28, 2008 at 01:01 PM
I've got
Texas Chainsaw MasacreTroybuilt Lawnmower Barbie. She's very... nimble.Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 28, 2008 at 01:03 PM
My GI Joe kicked Ken's @ss and made Barbie's toes curl.
Posted by: CJrun | February 28, 2008 at 01:06 PM
Good grief, that's a riot! What is this SheTV? Is it a show I missed out on?
*Ahem* Al Franken has good legs. I wonder if he shaved for the part.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:09 PM
Another reason I loved SheTV - Bagitta. Jennifer Coolidge rocks.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2008 at 01:09 PM
I went to school with a guy that looked just like that!
Posted by: gjd | February 28, 2008 at 01:09 PM
CJ - sounds like the same effect you've had cg. :)
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:10 PM

Ha! I knew there was something iffy about Ken. With a name like that what do you expect.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 01:16 PM
*inserts "on" before "cg" in last post*
OK - the Bagitta thing is familiar. I must have seen the show and forgotten it!
*SNORK* @ Mot!!
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:18 PM
gjd - looked like which? Ken or Bagitta?
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:20 PM
Mot, I agree. Those "Kens" are pretty dang weird if ya ask me.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 01:22 PM
We just popped out for dinner at the local Italian restaurant and I was amazed at the total lack of crotch scratching. I must admit to being relieved by that as the waiter had his thumb in my lasagne.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 01:24 PM
"...the waiter had his thumb in my lasagne."
euphemism?
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 01:26 PM
CJ - 'action figure' = 'dolly.' And ftr- GI Joe had no sense of how to accessorize.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2008 at 01:26 PM
*snorks applesauce on screen*
*wipe, wipe*
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:27 PM
Seeing as I'm unable to blog and watch TV simultaneously I'm off to get my weekly dose of inanity from Desperate Housewives, catch you later.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 01:30 PM
I'm sure this will be all the rage in San Francisco!
snork @ Annie's Divorced Barbie
Remember Roseanne's Trailer Park Barbie?
I caught my then 11-year old son & a friend playing Hooker Barbies with his sister's dolls a loooong time ago.
Posted by: daisymae | February 28, 2008 at 01:33 PM
I'll bet you think he's talking about the TV show, don't you ... ?!
Posted by: Steve Haller | February 28, 2008 at 01:34 PM
*eyebrow pop* Hooker Barbies®? Oh. My.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:34 PM
Steve - If he's callin' Mrs. Hoople inane, I don't think he's gonna get his weekly dose of anything, IYKWIM.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:36 PM
"Desperate Housewives" Mot? Really? *methinks we may have found the model for that Ken doll ;) *
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 28, 2008 at 01:37 PM
Ass a leetle chiquita en Cuba, I has played wis Barbarita from El Barrio. Shes liked to esmoke el ceegar an she had da preeeetiest machete for da protecshon. Big culo too.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Doc - Mot is every bit the manly gentleman. He's simply not afraid to get in touch with his emotional side.
*psst, mot, i did it. now where's that fifty bucks you promised me?
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:48 PM
"Is that a c*ck ring dangling from his neck??"

http://www.pacificspiritcatalogs.com/Dick_Chainey_Pendant_-_Sterling_Silver-374.htm
(yes it's true; i own one)
Posted by: judi | February 28, 2008 at 01:49 PM
It has a Buy It Now price of $24.99. Hmm, who do I know that would appreciate such a gift? Siouxie, you need a date for the weekend don't ya? I'll pay if you want him. ;)
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 28, 2008 at 01:50 PM
judi - you go, girl!
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:52 PM
Ken would make a nice toy for Dick Cheney's grandkid.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2008 at 01:52 PM
I have to get one of judi's 'Chaineys.' So when my puritan friends touch my necklace and go, "Oooh, pretty...what is it?"
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 28, 2008 at 01:55 PM
Or Larry Craig himself.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 28, 2008 at 01:55 PM
He's a bit large for a playmate, don't you think, Doc? Though he could give the kids tap dancing lessons.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 01:57 PM
judi's linky
LOL judi! I want one!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 01:59 PM

Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 02:08 PM
Ok, that makes it official. Now I can start my day. Thanks Siouxie. :)
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 28, 2008 at 02:13 PM
A glutton for punishment, aren'tcha, Doc? It's kinda like Stockholm Syndrome.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 02:14 PM
*snorks*@ Sio's Barbita!
*jerks judi's chain*
Posted by: CJrun | February 28, 2008 at 02:20 PM
watch it, there, cj, you're liable to jerk it right o.... whoops!
Posted by: judi | February 28, 2008 at 02:22 PM
I must be a bit slow. I have always thought Ken was gay.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | February 28, 2008 at 02:22 PM
judi, oh. my.
Posted by: crossgirl | February 28, 2008 at 02:23 PM
judi, you can party with me anytime. i've got one in gold plate. and 90% of the people that see it have no idea what it is.
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 28, 2008 at 02:24 PM
I *don't know how to do the heart symbol* ebay
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | February 28, 2008 at 02:29 PM
I ♥ eBay.
(MKJ - it's <3>, but you have to use the 3 on the keypad, not over the letters)
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 02:32 PM
Those pendants look positively jurassic.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 02:36 PM
I'm not surprised Wicked. It took me about a minute to realize what it was, and that was with the helpful name.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | February 28, 2008 at 02:37 PM
Anytime, Rick ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 02:38 PM
Dangit. That was supposed to be [alt][3]. Sheesh.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 02:39 PM
BTW, the housewives were suitably desperate.
O/T, SA has been in the news for all the wrong reasons again. I know CNN was carrying the story on it's international service but I hope it hasn;t been aired over there. Back O/T
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 02:39 PM
Now you've piqued my interest, Mot. What story? And where's that fifty bucks?
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 02:41 PM
DD: Me too!
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | February 28, 2008 at 02:43 PM
Prolly this one Diva
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | February 28, 2008 at 02:43 PM
Geez, Elon. YUCK!
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 02:46 PM
That's the one EW. *Hides head in shame*
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 02:47 PM
my god, that's beyond horrifying.
Posted by: judi | February 28, 2008 at 02:48 PM
amazing and so depressing. we can send people to an international space station, visit the moon, manipulate genes and yet we still don't know how to get along with each other. sorry, i'm done now.
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 28, 2008 at 02:49 PM
I love their explanation - that it was "playacting." Right. And how did they get these black students involved? Did they TELL them it was playacting?
Mot - you have nothing to hang your head over, Love. You are a gentleman and a scholar and have nothing to do with the reprehensible actions of a couple of students who probably should be on an Australian party list somewhere.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 02:50 PM
Every time I think we've progressed along the road toward normality we seem to take a half a dozen steps back. There has just been so much sh1t happening over here during the last year and many are fearing that we're heading towards being another Zimbabwe.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 02:52 PM
Mot you can be proud that things like this are no longer accepted as the norm in your country. That is a good start.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | February 28, 2008 at 02:56 PM
wicked - I'm reading an old sci fi novel by Alan Dean Foster (Nor Crystal Tears) that Clean Hands gave me. It details a civilization that questions the wisdom of interacting with humans because of our penchant for cruelty to our own people rather than a banding together in community. It's not the focus of the book, but it's still quite thought-provoking.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 02:59 PM
(((((((((Mot))))))))))) you have nothing to be ashamed of.
Horrible but it could have happened anywhere, including here in the good old US of A.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 02:59 PM
what siouxie said.
Posted by: crossgirl | February 28, 2008 at 03:02 PM
There was so much euphoria in 1994, Nelson Mandela emerged from 27 years of incarceration and hugged his jailers. The BBC have recently completed a documentary called "There are no more Mandelas" which is quite scary and paints a very bleak picture of the future of this country.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 03:03 PM
I'll rephrase that. It HAS happened here in the good old US of A. And continues to happen. Sad, but true.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 28, 2008 at 03:05 PM
Hey, I knew I could rely on my blog buddies to make me feel better.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 28, 2008 at 03:12 PM
Siouxie reminded me of a story that my 6th grade teacher told us (WHY she told us, I dunno!) about boys at her previous school who really did make a kid...drink....GAG. It wasn't race oriented, just evil. This was in 1981 or so, so it ain't new.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 28, 2008 at 04:19 PM
Those people should have a tooth implanted in their eye without anesthetic.
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | February 28, 2008 at 05:14 PM
One of the Dick Chainey pendants made me wonder if the VP is now permanently seeing blue.
