I just had a little girl nerdgasm. Ew, that sounded better in my head…
Sparkly bones.....drool
Yep, that is a paleontologist Barbie, complete with sparkly dino bones.
>_< Squeee!
And with her, I got an astronaut suit, diving gear and a karate gi. Seriously, I'm hyperventilating right now. We're gonna have some dinosaur diggin', underwater moon-base, Taekwondo adventures, people. Saddle up.
And I almost had a breakdown in the store when I saw this:
The bottom half of the box was covered up when I first saw it, so I thought they were a lesbian set, sold together. I was about to cry tears of joy, but alas. Still, in my imagination, they’re about to walk down the aisle together.
I’m so deep in edit land, I can only pause to say hello and eat ice cream. Even though it’s hard, I’m very happy, y’all. I’m in love with the world.
What’s making you happy this week? Let’s look on the bright side. And Maria, I don’t know if wordpress is still blocking you. I couldn’t find any settings or anything to change, but I feel your good wishes, and I’m sending some your way. ^_^
Congratulations on your little girl nerdgasm, so much better than a big girl one!LOL
I love Barbie’s but think they look much better on the store shelves now than they ever looked when I was growing up, of course my doll’s were hand-me-downs from a cousin and not only did I not take care of them but they are long lost years ago (and not really missed to tell the truth, I preferred my books even back then).
I gave up Barbies for books, too, Jackie. I’ve only rediscovered them for humor purposes. ^_^
It’s just great that Barbie gets to set an example of women doing more than standing in a pencil skirt and high heeled pumps while pushing a vacuum. She does more. And though my daughter is more into cars and superhero action figures, I can say that I’d be okay with getting her a “doing more things” Barbie.
Keep it up in editland. Glad you got that ice cream. Have to have a little time for ice cream
Ice cream makes the world go round, Angela. And I love that Barbie does more now. Well, she always did more in my house. ^_^
I heard somewhere that they were thinking of doing a Hunger Games Barbie. They’d make a killing.

I am willing to bet this comment will go through. Why? Because I returned the NEW computer after it shut down on me for the seventh time.
I’m on my old machine. Crossing fingers and saying prayers.
It says I already commented, but nothing’s showing up. Do you think it’s holding me in moderation?
Ah, that one went through, but not the original comment. At least we’re making progress.
I asked if you’d heard about Hunger Games Barbie.
I got them all, Maria. ^_^ Hunger Games Barbie = irony. When it comes out, I’ll have to take a pic and laugh! Good luck with the new computer.
Very funny. I can’t wait to see a Hunger Games Barbie with dark hair/eyes and olive skin! LOL
M, no wonder I haven’t heard from you!! Gads, I’d be kicking each one of your so-called “tech guys” up the damn wazoo if they screwed me around like this! Once again, I’m frustrated that I live so far away or I’d help you out. Aaargh!
(Sorry for using your blog as a conduit to M, Barbara.)
No problem, Kaz. We’re all really using my blog to talk to Maria. ^_^ I don’t know why you went to moderation as I’ve already approved you. Chalk it up to internet error.
Hey, did my comment just get eated?
It’s because I logged in for the first time using my WordPress/Gravatar account, B. It made machine-sense, even if it didn’t make human-sense. And thanks for being the Maria-universe conduit…a puppy is getting tummy rubs somewhere due to your generosity.
All I can say is… I need palaeontologist Barbie. NEED. Not optional.
It’s so cool, Faith! You can probably find her on the internet with no problems.
