by Chexy on January 5, 2012

I told you about it last week… and here they come. Even more plastic than the real-life Kardashians… their Barbies are forthcoming from Mattel.

Hide yo kids.

A little local nostalgia to close out the year.

All the gay colors… big 12.5″ too.

Bugs sings it.

Have fun tonight, dance on the ceiling.

Signs the End is Near: Kim Kardashian Barbie

by Chexy on December 30, 2011

Kim Kardashian is tweeting some, er, titillating news regarding a possible Barbie in her likeness. This makes perfect sense, since every red-blooded parent wants her daughter to emulate a failed porn star.

Kim tweeted at the Ken doll (yes, I really wrote that, and yes, Ken is on the Twitter, and yes, I said “the Twitter” ironically), “Merry Christmas Barbs @Barbie Style! Long time no see! What did Ken get you for Christmas? Miss you doll!” Then, “Barbie” responded, “Happy Doll-idays to you too @KimKardashian! See you in 2012?”

Well-hung rap star, lummox basketballer and vapid sisters all sold separately. Mercifully, there’s no indication that the doll will speak.

In other Barbie news, Donna Douglas (below, left), whose life has been consigned to being Elly Mae Clampett of “The Beverly Hillbillies,” has just won a settlement against Mattel for using her likeness without permission.

Amy asked me, “Does the Kim doll come with Botox?” I don’t know where she learns these things.

Whole Foods Hanukkah Fail

by Chexy on December 19, 2011

The Whole Foods market in L.A.’s glamorous Fairfax district is ready to serve their Jewish customers for Hanukkah. Sorta.

Fail.

(For my non-Jewish readers, one doesn’t eat matzo on Hanukkah… that’s for Passover… which is around Eastertime.)
