Did Barbie become even more cachectic?
It appears that she has lost even more weight in the last couple years. She should probably be in the hospital.

For pics of the new and the 2004 Barbie, go to this article:

4. not only that, but the poor thing is gonna have to be sold
with a wheelbarrow for that chest. There is no way someone that debilitated can carry around that much silicone without falling flat on her face, that stuff is heavy!

If she goes on this way much longer, she'll be reduced to a coat hanger with hair and silicone tits.

Oh, and that deformity of her feet! Pathetic! I thought footbinding had been banned!

6. It looks like they're trying to make her younger
Original Barbie was a freakishly disproportionate adult; this new version looks like a badly malnourished high school freshman. Actually, there are many young women on my campus (college) who look very like that new version...

9. Except at that weight, their hearts would actually give out at some point.

7. Looks like the Anorexic Annie Doll
feed her and she actually hides her food. Don't laugh, if they don't stop selling this body type to young girls, there are going to be 50% more girls out there doing just that.....

8. Barbies for older girls (like me)!
I got this in an e-mail awhile back, I laughed myself silly.

Finally a Barbie I can relate to. At long last, here are some NEW Barbie dolls to coincide with her and OUR aging gracefully. These are a bit more realistic...




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 handheld 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, two-MuMus 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 exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.



7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader 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.




:rofl:
