Hiya Barbie Hi Ken! Do you want to go for a ride? Sure Ken Jump in I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world Life in plastic, it's fantastic You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere Imagination, life is your creation Come on Barbie, let's go party!... from "Barbie Girl" by Aqua Saturday, March 9 is Barbie's 60th birthday! (Hmm... I wonder how much plastic surgery she's had over the years....) Anyway, this challenge seems fairly simple: fit some aspect of Barbie's world into a story. Come on Barbie, let's go party!

Congratulations, EW. You just broke my brain.

These days its the LOL surprise dolls, so Barbie is feeling her age, and going through rejection currently in our house. No amount of plastic surgery is helping her get their attention... except the odd Barbie movie. You want cheesy and clique and cringe stories with so man Mary Sues and dumb Ken its excruciating like some kind of mental and visual torture.. welcome to Barbie kids movies.

If by "plastic surgery" you mean the removal of limbs or her head then I did some of that as a child! I wonder how many different jobs/careers Barbie has had over the years! Thanks to a comedy music trio from the 90's (they're called Tripod) who did a weekly "Song in an Hour" challenge on radio, I have been told that bits of Barbie doll show up purple in X-Rays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piO-e3g-GBs&index=23&list=PLCEDA5EBE1DE1E2D3

Aren't x-rays greyscale? I could maybe accept plastic showing up as purple in a cat scan or an MRI. Not sure about Doppler, echo, nuclear or PET scans. Damn. You realise that now I'm going to have to do the research, right?

Jason meets Barbie. Barbie tries to kill Jason. Barbie fails. Story over. How's that?

Perfect! (I can't stand Barbie sorry. )

I've been thinking on it but I haven't been able to come up with even a short fic.

I like it! You win the Internets!

In a quiet corner of gatchamania.net, the KNT and the G-Force team were watching the Infini-T Force movie. A soft chime sounded. "What was that?" Joe asked. "Someone's posted something that we might find concerning," Princess said. At the puzzled looks the others directed her way, she shrugged. "Whatever else he may be," she explained, "Zark's an incredibly powerful AI. I programmed him to read the message boards and alert us if he noticed anything weird. Er," she added. "Weirder than usual." "Wait a second," Jason said, frowning. "You're telling me that you made Zark useful?" "Believe it or not," Princess said. "I think I love you," Jason said. Mark cleared his throat and spun his sonic boomerang in one hand just a little too casually. "Like a sister," Jason hastened to add. "I love you like a sister, Princess." Ken paused the movie. "So, what are the Gatchamanics up to, now?" he asked. Keyop and Jinpei were studying their tablets. "What's a Barbie girl?" Jinpei asked. The others exchanged puzzled glances. "Here," said Keyop. "Cast the page to... TV. Ken, you've got... remote. Select...input, please?" The screen lit up with a gatchamania.net discussion thread. "They want to write us into a crossover with a Barbie doll?" Jason surmised. "Huh," Jun said, folding her arms. "It's been done" Ryu frowned. "It has?" Princess snorted and hastily stifled a snigger. "Hello?" Jun drawled, "Do you really expect me to believe that you guys have forgotten the OAVs?" "I don't follow..." Ken started to say, which was when Joe laughed and hit his fearless leader with a cushion.

Nice one GGO.

GGO: Now you made me want to go and watch the OAVs!

GGO, it's been a while since I've watched the OAV, but I've got to plead 'I can't think of the connection.' I'm wracking my brain over every woman in the OAV...But I do love what you wrote!! EW - There have been a few movies with women who shoot bullets out of their boobs/bras. Why not the whole boob? I could see the whole team going apoplectic from their laughter.

OAV Jun's physique was somewhat reminiscent of a Barbie doll.

EW, I did not even know that there were that many shades of pink in the visible spectrum. It's a truly chilling concept. Loved the story.

That weapon got me thinking, and my mind went in this direction . . . Not sure if it would be better or worse to have a Barbie mech that shoots some kind of liquid from her boobs Then I end up with an image of a giant Barbie shooting a fountain-like arc of deadly . . . er, goo? . . . as she falls backwards. She ends up dissolving in her own goo. (Sorry, my brain is mush right now!)

Ah, yes. She was top heavy compared to the original Jun.

Oh, that go me laughing so hard I gave myself hiccups.

...And that, boys and girls, is why eating cheese at bedtime is a really bad idea.

I guess its a good thing they didn't make Barbie and Ken completely anatomically correct.

That was perfect, Kat! I agree with your assumption about Jun and dolls. Now, was there ever a Barbie like that?

Originally posted by Becky Rock That was perfect, Kat! I agree with your assumption about Jun and dolls. Now, was there ever a Barbie like that?

Thanks Becky. There may not have been a Barbie exactly like that - especially the race suit - but there was at least one Barbie with a motorbike. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Barbie-Spy-Squad-Secret-Agent-Motorcyle/48681930

Originally posted by Becky Rock Now, was there ever a Barbie like that?

I don't think Mattel produced this, but I remember there was girls' version of the Evel Knievel stunt doll (I don't remember what her name was). I WANTED THAT DOLL SOOOOOO MUCH!!!

If I was still a kid, I would have loved that.

EW - you're right. That one isn't Mattel. There's this one https://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Realistic-Sounds-Mattel-Hawthorne/dp/B00479PTQK And I have seen pictures of a purple Harley - not sure if that one was official Mattel merchandise.
