The trouble started in the Barbie aisle at a Toys

Having read this far:

Welcome to the exciting world of REALDOLL! Since 1996, we have been using Hollywood special effects technology to produce the most realistic love doll in the world. Our dolls feature completely articulated skeletons which allow for anatomically correct positioning, an exclusive blend of the most expensive silicone rubbers for an ultra-flesh like feel, and are each custom made to order, to our customer's specifications. We offer an extensive list of options, from body type and head type all the way down to fingernail color. If you've ever dreamed of creating your ideal woman, then you have come to the right place.

I do not feel the need to read any further.

The Three Transexuals band has just released a new single"Will You Bong My Thong?"

“I felt humiliated,” she said. “I am not a transvestite.”

pardon my ignorance, then what the heck are you??

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Yeah, they exist. My little niece has one.

I cannot begin to count how many times I had been yelled at by a customer for not having a certain size jean or shirt in stock.

Yeah, but that's why you were paid the big bucks. :-)

Seriously though, it's bad PR for a store to be rude to the customers. I don't know if these people were threatened with violence, but if so, that really would be beyond the pale.

Clinton just bought stock in the company.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Bubba got caught in public with a transsexual?

[kstewskis]

I remember one night at a bar with some friends and there was this real androgenous looking female soloist. One of my female friends was drunk and trash mouthing her real bad. But the rest of our group felt sorry for "Pat" and tipped the heck out of her.

What kind of places are you hanging out at, parsy? ;)

[gd124]

I'm sorry to say this about your little niece, and I'm sure that I am wrong, but the thought of someone having a life size Barbie doll cries out to me "SPOILED BRAT!"

“I am not a transvestite.”

A transvestite merely wears the clothes of the opposite gender. A transexual has surgery to cut off and add various bits. Quite a step up, or whatever. :-)

$300,000 buys a whole lot of Barbie Dolls...

,,, give it time.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

You are correct, customer service is very important in the retail business. That's why I worked for Gap Inc., instead of Walmart.

I find it hard to believe that an employee actually threatened these transsexuals with physical violence. Typically, teens will maybe laugh and whispe about social deviance among themselves, but they wouldn't care enough to threaten physical violence.

I'm almost tempted to say that Hilary was a surgery that went wrong. Oh, I said it, didn't I? ;-)

,,, clientele and retailers alike in Brooklyn are both fairly seasoned, I'd imagine.

Right, but one had hormonal therapy, dresses the part, and married a soda vendor. Didn't sound like he/she joined the clipper club, did it?

My little niece is greatest, and so is my nephew. During the summer, I always take her (3 years) and my little nephew (6 years) to the beach or zoo. Kids at that age are just so fun to be around. I am very protective of them as if they were my own children.

They are blessed children, but not spoiled. The extravagant material items that they may have, is for their own personal hobbies.

To learn the difference between a transvestite and transsexual one need only pay a hundred grand for four years at your favorite Ivy League College. They will be glad to explain it to you.

As for me, I never took those courses, so I have no idea! ;-)
