Assuming you all saw this e-mail forward already, but if not… here it is. Other dolls in the series include Staten Island Barbie, Bay Ridge Barbie, Lower East Side Barbie, Upper West Side Barbie, Bensonhurst Barbie, Sunset Park Barbie, Red Hook Barbie, and Greenwich (Connecticut and Village) Barbie.
“Park Slope 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 Park Slope Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, Â you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.Â
Dude, did you look up the actual URL? That’s the Red Hook barbie you have there. The Park Slope barbie, at http://www.jibjab.com/view/110960, actually looks like the description.
I would also like to note that whomever put this parody together apparently hasn’t been to New York any time this century. The Upper West Side and Greenwich, CT might be timeless, but anyone who thinks a recently paroled meth addict could afford (or would want) to live in the Lower East Side is clearly not surfing Craigslist Real Estate section on a regular basis.
oops.
