Aquatic Barbie enjoys traveling
with us whenever we go anywhere
tropicaly nice, and then insists on
being photographed. Anything to
make the world 🌎 a better place 😎
A little known fact I uncovered when
delivering a load of fresh plastic to
the local medical centre, Larisa 😎👍
There was Ken on his inflexible knees
singing ‘I love you just the way you are!’
to an equally inflexible Barbie, with
tears streaming down his face 😭
And there was me thinking that
big boy toys don’t cry 🤔🕶️
Barbies just want to have fun whilst
reengineering a social matriarchy.
They’ve been doing it since 1959.
The same year the United States
sent two monkeys into space, and
Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba.
Coincidence? Not according to Ken,
who made me promise not to tell 🙊
But then, Ken does resent being
treated as a toy boy Barbie accessory
by Mattel ™ 😎
Thank you, Cheryl 🙏 My wife,
Linda, detests those plastic tools
of patriarchal social engineering.
Rather unfortunate for our three
daughters that she also dislikes
Disneyland and it’s portrayal of
women as subservient creatures
always in need of rescuing 🤔🕶️
Thank goodness the times are
changing, as I’m often in need of
rescuing 😎

Wonderful Barbies. Barbie emerging from the ocean is lovely. She gives Botticelli’s Barbie a run for her money.

I thought barbies cloned themselves like aphids, and didn’t need men.
But seeing the Balinese barbies, one can no longer trust barbies or men.
