Barbie Dolls
Mattel recently announced the release of Limited-Edition Barbie dolls for
the Arizona market:
Scottsdale Barbie:
This princess Barbie is only sold at Scottsdale Fashion Center. She comes
with an assortment of Kate Spade handbags, a Lexus SUV, a long-haired
foreign lapdog named Honey, and a semi-custom dream house with a saguaro
Cactus in front. Available with or without tummy tuck and facelift.
Workaholic ex-husband Ken comes with squeeze-me Skipper and a Ferrari.
Chandler Barbie:
This modern-day homemaker Barbie is available with Ford Windstar minivan and
matching gym suit. She gets lost easily and has no full-time occupation or
secondary education. Traffic-jamming cell phone sold separately. Can swear
in English or Spanish. Available at Target.
Apache Junction Barbie:
This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, bowie knife, a 78 El
Camino with dark tinted windows, and a meth-lab kit. This model is only
available after dark and can only be bought with cash, preferably small
bills, unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are talking about.
Ahwatukee Barbie:
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or HummerH2.
Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card set, and Country Club
membership. Also available are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper.
Ahwatukee Barbie hasn't been affordable since the early 80's.
Mesa Barbie:
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small,
a classic Metallica shirt, and Tweety Bird tattoo on her shoulder. Wants to
major in NASCAR at MCC. She has a six-pack of Coors Light and a Hank
Williams, Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick mullet-haired Ken's
ass when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a
confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free. Available at Ross.
El Mirage Barbie:
This tobacco chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own
high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased Beer-Gut
Ken out of Mesa Barbie's (discontinued) house. Her ensemble includes
low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, strawberry lip-gloss, and a
see through halter-top. Comes with Barbie's dream doublewide trailer.
Available at Wal-Mart. Cheap.
Sedona Barbie:
This collagen injected, rhinoplastic Barbie wears leopard print spandex, and
drinks cosmopolitans to new age music with friends at the lodge. She's into
crystals. Comes with Percocet prescription and two alimony checks. Also
cheap.
Phoenix Barbie:
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional
accessories include a G.E.D. and bus pass. Gangsta Ken and his '79 Caddy
where available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of
the infant.
Flagstaff Barbie:
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair,
archless 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 Flagstaff Barbies and the optional Subaru
wagon,you get a rainbow flag sticker for free.
Gilbert Barbie:
Is pregnant, drives a new Ford Excursion and is perfect in every way. We
don't know who Ken is because he's always away hunting or in Japan on
business. Gilbert Barbie aspires to become Scottsdale Barbie. Not cheap, but
still very naive.
Tucson Barbie:
Into basketball and marijuana. Dropped out of PCC. Does nothing but complain
about Phoenix Barbie.
Guadalupe Barbie:
This Spanish-speaking-only Barbie comes with a 1984 Toyota with expired
temporary plates and three babies in the back, without car seats. This is
the only Barbie who is willing to do manual labor. Ken comes in a
meat-packer's uniform and is missing three fingers on his left hand. Green
cards are not yet available for Guadalupe Barbie or Ken. Available at Food
City.
Van Buren Barbie/Ken:
This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply
adding or subtracting the "snap-on" parts.
Sun City Barbie/Ken:
These dolls are going fast! Well, what we mean is they're old and don't have
much time left. Both write checks for everything or pay in change, and can
provide hours of endless repetitive conversation about "The good ol' days."
Drives a golf cart, signals right to turn left. Can be seen in Barbie
Grocery Store (sold separately) arguing over prices. Available at the
doctor's office.
