Another Barbie StoryMattel has launched a new doll range called "Totally Stylin' Tattoos Barbie". It features tattoos of guns, flowers, hearts, stars, butterflies to be placed anywhere on Barbie's body. It even has design for her lower back with the name of Ken, her long time doll boyfriend.
This development caused an uproar in some parents naturally, although Mattel says it is for creativity and keeping up with the "coolness" factor.
What's next, Hell's Angel Barbie? Fast and Furious Barbie? Latest news is that this Barbie is not proving to be popular. Uncool maybe?
Finally, Archie Proposes!On the coming issue #600 of “Archie,” the iconic comics teen gets down on bended knee to propose to rich Veronica Lodge — and breaks long-suffering girl-next-door Betty’s heart. After more than 60 years of playing the two girls -- it is the brunette over the blonde; or money over love?
As it took Archie more than 60 years to make that decision, how long will the engagement be? Probably another 60 more years? Anyway, the 32 pages issue will be available at comics specialty shops on August 19, 2009 and on newsstands September 1.
How do you like Archie's choice?
I'm not an Archie fan. When I was a kid the teen-themed comic was kind of boring to me. Superman, Batman, Mighty Thor, Flash Gordon etc. facinates me. If I am to judge Archie's choice I think he is right in choosing richie rich Veronica...well, to be practical...lol.
