Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past fashion season, I’m sure you’re aware of Barbie sudden dominance of the world of cut & sew. The bitch is 50 and instead of fading away into menopausal bliss, she has decided to stage a comeback (my guess is she took a page from Madonna’s handbook, expect a young latin play thing any day now). 

As part of her attempt to remain relevant she’s staging a fashion show at Bryant Park this week and even has gotten hip to this Facebook all the kids are talking about. Of course, her Facebook features some weird as videos of celebrities who don’t really do much, except endorse Barbie. Something about Kevin Sorbo (the 90s Hercules) talking about torturing Barbie’s as a boy makes me concerned for what kind of message the plastic cougar is trying to get across. Maybe a S&M Barbie is right around the corner (hey, it worked for Madonna, right?).
