the dolls we do; part 1
When I was a kid I had a lot of alone time. I’d like to say this has changed, but then I’d be a liar, and that’s not any fun when everyone knows about it. Not much has changed.
I wasn’t too big on Barbie, but I had one or two of her clones. And by that I mean that I had a couple of dolls that they came in a box that called them “Barbie” but I always suspected that the true Barbie was somewhere trying on new outfits and giving advice to her maker.
What. And you’re not fucked up?
Of course this also meant that they were renamed something less iconic, like Jennifer and Melissa. They were always arguing about who was who.
In other news, I’m pretty sure that the Imposters spent a lot of time brushing their hair, trying on different outfits, and using their spare time to boss “Ken” around to throw off the scent. At some point the duo got a hair cut and a red Ford Mustang with shiny rims and an AM/FM radio. The Ford, as you might imagine, was a constant source of argument. She-Ra tended to sort things out since she was armed. It’s hard to argue with a woman carrying a sword.
