BARBIE Skis?!!

[Ski Diva]

Yep, Mattel, the manufacturer of Barbie dolls, is partnering with Elan to make skis for young girls, in pink (of course) with graphics of flowers and butterflies.

As much as it makes me twinge, I bet my daughter would've LOVED these when she was little.

Hey, if it gets 'em skiing, I'm for it.

Will the Barbie Ferrari have little tiny ski racks?

And why not?

Maybe there will be a Barbie ski lodge, to go with the Barbie Dream House? It would be a good place for those trysts my sister and I used to set up for Ken and Barbie, once we were getting a little too old for doll games.

. . . Ken is sitting by the fire in a Dale of Norway sweater, leg in a cast from his spectacular crash on the Skipper (TM) glacier earlier in the day. Barbie comes in looking for hot chocolate, in her head-to-toe pink ski suit and *Abominable Snowman* white fur boots, and falls head-over-heels for the *new* Ken.

Barbie skiing.
It's got potential.

This could quickly get X-rated.....
