Barbie Is So Very Screwed
Mysterious and noble TR reader John (if that is his real name) sent news of what is clearly the awesomest Barbie doll?and probably the awesomest doll period?ever made. Yes, it’s Barbie as Tippi Hedron in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, but more specifically, it’s Barbie being attacked by fucking birds. Is this the first Barbie doll with a look of fear on her face? Am I allowed to pay more than $45 for it, just to support figures of Barbie in mortal peril and/or attacked by nature itself? Should we all pre-order it here? Yes. Yes we should.
Barbie. In The Birds. Holy living shit.
