Mike, TLC,... Last night in the cozy environs of the family bed I mentioned the Barbie thing to Loving Spouse. She set me straight and told me that Barbie had no painted on panties. Then out of the blue she volunteered that "down there she's exactly like Ken". <sound of mind blowing> So all these years I thought Kennie was a little light in those teeny loafers. Well now I know - if he sneeks into an elevator with Barbie or with GI Joe - there is No. Difference.

>"Geez, I'm undressing a doll with...< The funny thing is - I never thought of Barbie's boobies as anything more than a tenth of an ounce of indifferent-grade vinyl. Maybe she needed well-executed nipples or something. Ever do the trapdoor trick with a Land O' Lakes butter box? There's this virginal Indian chick on the box, right? Well, take two of these. Cut out the knees from one; leave a generous edge. Take the good one and neatly turn the big box o' butter she's holding into a trapdoor that foklds down. Now glue the knees behind this flap. When you lower the trapdoor - the knees very convincingly look like .. not knees. Great fun in Junior High, and it still makes me smile. What does that say about me, I wonder?

This summer I was visiting an old boyfriend and his wife, my age. She brought out her Barbies to show them off, she had all the original gear, gold lame sheath, leopard skin pillbox hat, stole, even the itty-bitty charm bracelet. It reminded me of the awful things I used to do to my sister's Barbie with GI Joe, but the friend did not think that was a funny story, nor did my sister, when I reminded her. GI Joe was not anatomically correct, but he had something - more - than Barbie (or Ken). At least, that's what I remember. Some kind of - well, I can visualize it but I can't describe it. Like a u-shaped fold in the plastic, maybe? Is that right? Or am I just confabulating again?
