Divorced Barbie

"A man was driving home one evening and
realized that it was his
daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her a
present.
He drove to the mall and ran to the toy store and
he asked the store
manager,
"How much is that new Barbie in the window?"

The Manager replied, "Which one? We
have 'Barbie goes to the gym' for
$19.95, 'Barbie goes to the Ball' for
$19.95, 'Barbie goes shopping' for
$19.95, 'Barbie goes to the beach' for
$19.95, 'Barbie goes to the
Nightclub' for $19.95 and 'Divorced Barbie' for
$375.00"

"Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00 when all the
others are $19.95?, the
father asked.

The store manager replied: "Divorced Barbie
comes with Ken's car , Ken's
house, Ken's boat, Ken's dog, Ken's cat, Ken's
furniture and all of
Ken's savings."

Mmm...Barbie Isn't That Stupid After All....

POETRY

Barbie Doll
by Marge Piercy

This girlchild was born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE ovens and irons
and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.
Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said
You have a great big nose and fat legs.

She was healthy, tested intellegent,
posessed strong arms and back,
abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.
She went to and fro apologizing.
Everyone saw a fat nose and thick legs.

She was advised to play coy,
exhorted to come on hearty,
exersize, diet , smile, and wheedle.
Her good nature wore out like a fan belt.
So she cut off her nose and legs
and offered them up.

In the casket displayed on satin she lay
with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on,
a turned-up putty nose,
dressed in a pink and white nightie.
Doesn't she look pretty? everyone said.
Consumation at last.
To every woman a happy ending.

WHY?

Princess Pink

What do you first think when you hear the word "PINK"?

Pink has become the symbol of Barbie. When I went to MYER, the Barbie kids fashion, almost all of the stuffs are pink. Clothes, accesories, shoes and even the wall paint are in pink. I saw a little girl and her mom were choosing dress around that barbie area. Everytime she picked a dress to tried it to her daughter, it was always in pink. And the little girl seems really like it, even sometimes she pointed on another pink dress.

The question is why pink is considered as a girl colour rather than a boy? Back in my country -Indo- many male wouldn't wear pink clothes or any pink accecories, they are ashamed because pink is such a very girlie colour. Is this interpretation caused by the case that Barbie as a female icon use pink as their colour?

Which one come first: pink as Barbie's colour or
pink as girl's colour??
