Happy Birthday Barbie

Looking good for 50, yes believe it or not, it is Barbie's 50th Birthday today.  

The iconic teenage fashion doll which every little girl and effeminate

 boy longed to own and one day resemble. Come on who, didn't, most girls wanted to be Barbie and most boys wanted to undress her just to take a sneaky peek at her chest.

Barbie, what style, what grace, what a scandal!  In a drastic split reminiscent of Brad and Jennifer in 2004, two days before Valentine's day, Mattel actually announced, that after 43 years, Barbie and long term partner Ken had decided to call it a day.  Yes our sassy girl had traded in the old twink for the short dark and ever so trendy Australian Surfer Emo style, Blaine. 

Maybe it was just the menopause, maybe Ken was in the middle of a mid life crisis, because 2 years on, after traveling the far east, Ken made a come back.  That's right back in 2006 the play boy returned back to the side of his beloved fantastic plastic bimbo; and girl, he looked good! Personally it is my belief, that he just needed to get it out of his system once and for all, picking up a few rent boys he let his hair down partied hard a coke induced Queer as Folk fashion.  

We are sorry Blaine, you were so last season's BRATZ wannabe reject.  The kids just didn't dig you, when it comes to break ups, the kids will always want the parents to be together no matter how bad the relationship is and they hardly ever accept Mum's new boyfriend let alone step parent.  Who are you kidding? Wake up and smell the Starbucks, that Blonde Bitch chewed you up and spat you out, all in the name of a joint Marketing, PR campaign to boost Mattel's falling profits, welcome to reboundsville honey, population YOU!  

Please did you really think it would last?  Action Man had a better chance and he had eagle eyes, fuzzy hair and a pair of permanently fixed solid plastic pants.

Ken, Barbie, Blaine

So there you have it, You either love her or hate her, however, you cannot deny, she has always been around.   Out living our very own British version, Sindy, although, in her defense I did prefer Sindy to Barbie, she didn't look like she was about to snap at the waist and had decent pair of hips, so well done Palitoy for giving us Brits a healthier role model, I still have my Sindy, look:

Sindy & Me, content with our thighs

Despite what you think, Barbie, at 50, I salute you.  Happy Birthday Love, here's to Plastic Surgery:
