Towel Head Barbie

I've gotten horrible at updating. I know. You don't have to tell me. In fact, none of you have told me. I could probably continue updating and no one would say a word.

OR

Perhaps, with my supreme writing style, I have become so colossaly intimidating that no one dare say a word to me.

Yes. I'm sure that is it. That absolutely must be it. (And yes, if I were speaking I'd be using that east coast old money millionaire faux English accent........but you would still praise the glory of me.)

Ya know, I don't usually push my greatness onto you guys. I must be feeling really good tonight. I pre-ordered Lion King and Finding Nemo at the Disney store tonight. That might be why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Disney person. I'm a Pixar person, but Lion King was a damn good show.

I originally just had a few things to say. Ah well.

Ok, here was the first thing.

My horribly racial joke. My joke that I would have to leave ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown for.

"Two Iraqi families move to the United States. The fathers decide to make a bet. They decide whichever family is more Americanized by the end of the year wins.

So a year goes by and the two fathers meet.

The first one says, 'Today, I had McDonald's for breakfast, my son is in baseball, and I'm about to go pick up a 12 pack to watch the game later. How about you?'

The second one says, 'Fuck you, towelhead.'" ***

My second item of today, Betrothed, Rally Edition and I were hanging around the lovely Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace today and decided to wander around FAO Schwarz. In FAO Schwarz, they have their little Barbie land. BRE had to use the facilities so it gave me sometime to feel like a little girl and wander around aforementioned Barbie land by myself without that "uncomfortable male presence" that guys emit while they are somewhere where they really, really, really, really don't want to be.

There is a new line of Barbie. I believe it was called "Modern Circle" or something obnoxious like that. There's "Assistant Director" Barbie. (shrug) that one was alright. Kind of looks like the old Barbie with some hipster type clothing. Then there is, "something movie entertainment industry related" Ken. Black hair with green streaks.

In fact, the other two also had unnatural colors. I loved this and hated this at the same time. I couldn't really tell you why. It's just wrong somehow. Yet....so right.

So the third one was Make Up artist barbie. She had one of those beauty marks that so many of our mothers insisting on putting on with their brown eyebrow pencils in the late 70's and half black, half green reggae hair. And I was thinking, "wow...they so have them pegged."

Ok, the most HORRIBLE one was "Production Assistant" Barbie. She had blue hair. She had a briefcase of papers. She had.............a cup of coffee. A CUP......OF...COFFEE!!!!

So, yes, commercialism rears its ugly head again. And I LOVE it!!
