Earlier, you posted that
"Barbie brought beauty and glamor into little girls lives. As Shane said, a gun is only as good or as bad as the man who uses it.
Which just goes to prove, you don't bring a Barbie to a gunfight.
And I’ve eaten many a hat - saved me from anorexia, lol!!!!
Which goes to prove that Barbie has lasted as long as Shane will in American popular culture. And for that, I tip my hat.
As the brilliant Camille Paglia has pointed out, anorexia/bulima is a mostly upper middle class phenomena. Certainly, it has nothing to do with lower class American woman as Honey Boo-boo has made so clear..
Good friend of Klaus barbie!
I did find some generic 18 inch doll clothes but they really looked sort of cheap to me. I might be wrong tho, I am not very good at picking out clothes.
Ken In The Buff
There are some cheaply made ones, but kids don’t care. I assure you, quantity is the most important.

I wouldn’t hit it if I was being paid a lot to do it.
Us guys had GI Joe, and Transformers later on.
We also had a doll named Tammy, I think. The Ken doll always seemed pretty gay to me.
LOL
Wouldn’t be the first time for me, either...
I wood.
