Because of the field of anti-aging medicine I practice in, I get a lot of humorous things that come my way regarding menopause and aging. If the walls of my office could talk this is a lot of what you would hear from women who are honest with 'the change' that's going on in their body. So, here goes, this post if for the ladies who like to laugh and who can probably relate to this line up of Aging Gracefully Barbies.
1. Bifocal Barbie: Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too!) neck chain and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.
2. Hot Flash Barbie: Press Barbie's belly and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead. Comes with a hand-held fan and tiny tissues.
3. Flabby Arms Barbie: Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new, roomier-sleeved gowns. Comes with toning balls and a stretch band for her New Years workout
4. Bunion Barbie: Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.
5. No-More-Wrinkles Barbie: Erase those pesky crows feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle Spackle from Barbies own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.
6. Soccer Mom Barbie: All the experience as a cheer-leader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Ashley and Ken Jr. Comes with minivan in robin-egg blue or white, and cooler filled with juice drinks and lunch meat.
7. Post-Menopausal Barbie: You get to fill in the blanks on this one. Imagine what this Special Edition Barbie might be described as. It includes... She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, the book "Getting in Touch with Your Inner Self" is included.
I want one of each!!!
May your days be Merry and Bright!
