TGIF! Some Friday Silliness for you…

Thanks, Cin

… I just had to post this today for you all to get a crack out of (even if you don’t live in the GVRD).


Mattel recently announced the release of limited-edition Barbie Dolls for the Greater Vancouver market:

“Yaletown Barbie”
This University-educated Barbie is sold only at the Yaletown Choices Market. She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade Handbags, a Lexus SUV, a long-haired foreign dog named Honey and a designer kitchen. Available with or without tummy tuck and face-lift. Workaholic. Ken sold only in conjunction with the augmented version.

“Coquitlam Barbie”
The modern day homemaker Barbie is available with Ford Windstar Minivan and matching gym outfit. She gets lost easily and has no full- time occupation. Traffic-jamming cell phone and 3,000+ square ft home sold separately.

“East Van Barbie”
This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, a Ray Lewis knife, a Chevy with dark tinted windows, and a Meth Lab Kit. This model is only available after dark and must be paid for in cash (preferably small, untraceable bills) …unless you are a cop, then we don’t know what you are talking about.

“West Van Barbie”
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card and country club membership. Also available for this set are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. You won’t be able to afford any of them.

“Chilliwack Barbie”
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a NASCAR t-shirt and tweety bird tattoo on her shoulder. She has a six-pack of Bud light and a Hank Williams Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick mullet-haired Ken’s butt when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free.

“Maple Ridge Barbie”
This weed-smoking, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased beer-gutted Ken out of Butler Barbie’s house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter-top. Also available with a mobile home.

“Downtown Loft Barbie”
This collagen injected, rhino plastic Barbie wears a leopard-print outfit and drinks cosmopolitans while entertaining friends. Percocet prescription available as well as warehouse conversion condo.

“Kitsilano Barbie”
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow. She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Point Breeze Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.

“Surrey Barbie”
This Barbie now comes with an infant doll and toddler in stroller (choice of same Dad or different). Optional accessories include a GED and bus pass. Gangsta Ken and his 1979 Caddy were available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.

“Richmond Barbie”
This Asian Barbie comes complete with pink gown and mattress on floor. Brothel home optional. Sold out – Pimp driving a black Honda. Unavailable – desperate-looking Ken doll (renamed John). Coming soon – matching gambling casino play set.

“Whistler Barbie”
This jet-setting Barbie is perfect in every way, especially as Ken’s trophy babe. She has learned to live within the creature comfort limits of the Resort Municipality since Highway 99 is usually blocked by snow or rockslide. We don’t know where Ken is because he’s always out a-’huntin’.

“West End Barbie”
This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply adding or subtracting the multiple snap-on body parts. No need for vehicle – street walks everywhere.

This weekend is going to be another busy one! I’m very much looking forward to tomorrow night — I’m having “An intimate Rock Band party” at my place (I’ve elected to only invite a few people to this one so that everyone can be a part of the Rock Band and Guitar Hero action! I’ve actually been practicing a bit with Jeremy for a couple of evenings, but man, I can’t seem to get past Medium on Rock Band. I’m just not that coordinated. And to think I played several instruments when I was younger, too? I guess the Bag Pipes don’t really give me an edge up, huh?

Tonight, I’m hoping to catch up with Lisa, whom I haven’t seen in a donkey’s age… And Sunday, I think I’ll head over to Granville Island on the water taxi and have a relaxing afternoon there, if the weather holds.

What are you up to, this weekend?
