Re: [postcard: barbie & ken]
[Why change it up when it works?]
I'm not that needy. I grew out of it along with the plastic Barbie car. Barbie's all 'me, me, me' and I get that, you have to have your moment over and over if you're an astrophysicist and an Oscar winner. Have you ever wondered if it's subversive? All that pink and frilly shit they're handing out to little girls but it's all in Barbie's name. Ken doesn't have a house, the car, the pool-side lounger.
But respect? A little need isn't going to decimate it. It's the self-doubt behind all that crippling need. I guess if you're a guy surviving off who his wife is, a little existential crisis is inevitable.
Face it, B. He's sexless, so are you. Even with the power plastic tits.
