This version has it all; tattoo of a snake on her upper thigh, every eye shadow shade Maybelline has ever made, a can of AquaNet, and two sets of keys for her double-wide. Optional accessories: Sidewalks and a pickup. Bumper sticker that says "My kid can beat up your honors student" sold separately.
This model comes in Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a NASCAR shirt, big hair, a six pack of Coors Light, and a Hank Williams Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and can kick Ken's ass when she's drunk. A pickup is available with Confederate flag bumper stickers.
Big sprayed black hair with overdone makeup and housecoat, cooks up a batch of mean meatballs and lasagna. Comes with plastic covered sofas and a fridge in the basement for company.
This talking Barbie says: "Did you know I am Irish? Irish rules!" and sings the South Side Irish song. Comes with a bottle of lite beer and U of I t-shirt. Also includes an assortment of "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" buttons and green accessories for the South Side parade. Boyfriend Ken wearing a Notre Dame hat, sister Skipper wearing McAuley uniform, and cousin Joe in his Crusaders sweatshirt sold separately.
This Barbie also talks and all of her sentences include an assortment of "d's" and "doe's." She owns her own bungalow and comes with season tickets to the White Sox.
Comes complete with a uniform from Our Lady of the Ridge and four monogrammed bowling shirts. Talking version brags of having the best handicap on the south side and of being able to drink Ken under the table. Accessories include a mitt for 16-inch league games, six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a pack of Marlboro Lights, and an IROC Camaro with T-tops on crates in the front yard.
This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9 mm handgun, a Ray Lewis knife, a low-rider Chevrolet with oversized wheels and tinted windows and, my favorite, Meth Lab Ken. Talking version also speaks Spanish and includes two sons: Cesar, star of his high school soccer team; and Jose, wanted in four states.
This trendy homemaker Barbie is available with the Lexus or BMW SUV or a suped up Hummer H2, gets lost easily, and has no full-time occupation or secondary education. Traffic jamming cell phone sold separately. Optional: matching gym outfit.
This bee-tch of a Barbie comes with a knife to stab other Barbies in the back, miniskirt and tons of makeup.
This True Blonde shops exclusively in town. She drives a Land Rover (sold separately). She has an MBA from Northwestern but has never worked outside the home. Her child's stroller is bigger than your house and her tennis trophies are discreetly hidden behind CEO Ken's golf trophies. She knows enough Spanish to talk with the nanny, Tagalog to speak to the cook, and Polish for the house painter and housekeeper respectively. Her family owns a winery in Napa , but she buys cases of "2-Buck Chuck" at Trader Joe's. Hence the need for the rear-loading Land Rover.
This yuppie Barbie comes with knee-high black boots, a Louis Vuitton handbag, choice of a BMW sports car or new Convertible Beetle, Starbucks cup, credit card, a faux crocodile pill case filled with an assortment of the latest therapist-prescribed mood elevators, and shallow Ken.

This is a grown-up version of Barbie with three kids, all of whom got straight A's in school, 36's on the ACT, and college scholarships because they were the best on the team. Includes blowhard husband Ken, who is seen and heard at every little league game; daughter Midge, head cheerleader; and son Ken, Jr., the captain of the football team. The standard version comes with a Ford Windstar, a bi-level in Brook Hills and an assortment of Coach and Kate Spade knockoffs bought at a house party.The talking version says "Not MY kid.

I was born and raised in Illinois and lived in Peoria for a spell. That one's not true. It does fit when I'm from -- the Granite City Barbie. Lives in a trailer, no husband, has a baby, lives on welfare, overweight, losing her teeth before she's 30.
"We become what we behold. We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us." -- Marshall McLuhan, after Alexander Pope and William Blake.
Spend your money with me, I'm in Minneapolis, and everything is produced right here.
100% true.
