I want to be Barbie

I Want to Be Barbie

Think about how fantastic her life is! She has a Dream House and now a Diamond Castle, a Camaro, horses, dogs, cats, a slammin' wardrobe with designer clothes (Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karen, they all have designed for her). She dates handsome men (Ken looks like he should be on Young and the Restless, but Alan - remember him? - was pretty cute). She has been a veterinarian, a doctor, a general, an astronaut, a gymnast, and the President. She has a nice little sisters (Skipper, Stacey, Kelly), loyal friends (Midge, Whitney, Teresa, Becky - well, there are too many to mention). And she's on a cruise even as we speak! Don't believe life is good in Barbie World? Check out my "My Life as Barbie" photo album.

Mom and Dad are quite the natty couple

So how could I be anything other than fresh-faced and care free?

My life has taken me so many places!

Mom was a groovy fashion model

How could I not follow in her footsteps? Of course, a career in modeling doesn't last forever.

So, after starring on "Chicago" on Broadway . . .

. . . I gave up the fast lane for success as a veterinarian.

All work and no play make Barbie a dull girl, don't you know?

Days in Malibu . . .

California Boys . . .

Days shopping at Harrods (the high tea is divine!) . . .

Even a trip with Ken on the Starship Enterprise!

Speaking of my Ken:

We had a lovely Renaissance themed wedding (I told Ken not to dye his hair the day before the wedding, but men never listen, do they?)

We have such a lovely house

Domestic bliss is so easy!

Our post-modern living room is so calming

I love getting dressed in the Deco dressing room.

And I love having the girls over for garden parties - doesn't Whitney look too chic?

Yes, I feel like a princess - wouldn't you?
