Funnier for Texans but would apply to all states.
Mattel® recently announced the release of Limited-Edition Barbie dolls for the Texas market:
Highland Park BarbieThis princess Barbie is only sold at Highland Park Village. She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade handbags, a Lexus SUV, a long-haired foreign lapdog named Honey, and a cookie-cutter dream house with a saguaro cactus in front.
Available with or without tummy tuck and face lift.
Workaholic, ex-husband Ken comes with Squeeze-Me Skipper and a Ferrari.
Texarkana Barbie This modern-day homemaker Barbie is available with Ford Windstar minivan and matching gym suit. She gets lost easily and has no full-time occupation or secondary education.
Traffic-jamming cell phone sold separately.
Can swear in English or Spanish.
Available at Target.
El Paso Barbie This recently-paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, bowie knife, a '78 El Camino with dark tinted windows, and a meth lab kit.
This model is only available after dark,
and can only be bought with cash,
preferably small bills,
unless you are a cop.
Then we don't know what you are talking about.
Plano Barbie This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card set, and country club membership.
Also available are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper.
Plano Barbie hasn't been affordable since the early 1980's.
Fort Worth BarbieThis pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a classic Metallica shirt, and Tweety Bird tattoo on her shoulder. Wants to major in NASCAR at TCJC. She has a six-pack of Coors Light and a Hank Williams, Jr. CD set. She can spit over five feet and kick mullet-haired Ken's ass when she is drunk.
Purchase her pickup truck separately
and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free.
Available at Ross.
Amarillo Barbie This tobacco chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased Beer-Gut Ken out of Mesa Barbie's (discontinued) house. Her ensemble includes low-rise, acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, strawberry lip gloss, and a see-through halter top.
Comes with Barbie's dream doublewide trailer.
Available at Wal-Mart.
Cheap.
Houston Barbie This collagen injected, rhinoplastic (nose job) Barbie wears leopard-print spandex, and drinks cosmopolitans to New Age music with friends at the lodge.
Into crystals.
Comes with Percocet prescription and two alimony checks.
Also cheap.
San Antonio Barbie This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional accessories include a G.E.D. and bus pass.
Gangsta Ken and his '79 Caddy were available,
but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.
Austin Barbie This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long, straight, brown hair, archless feet, hairy armpits, no makeup, and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her "Willow".
She does not want or need a Ken doll,
but if you purchase two Flagstaff Barbies
and the optional Subaru wagon,
you get a rainbow flag sticker for free.
Dallas Barbie Is pregnant, drives a new Ford Excursion and is perfect in every way. We don't know who Ken is because he's always away hunting or in Japan on business.
Dallas Barbie aspires to become Highland Park Barbie.
Not cheap, but still very naive.
Lubbock Barbie Into basketball and marijuana. Dropped out of Texas Tech. Does nothing but complain about Dallas Barbie.
Harlingen Barbie This Spanish-speaking-only Barbie comes with a 1984 Toyota with expired temporary plates and three babies in the back, without car seats. This is the only Barbie who is willing to do manual labor.
Ken comes in a meat-packer's uniform
and is missing three fingers on his left hand.
Green cards are not yet available
for Harlingen Barbie or Ken.
Available at Fiesta.
Midland-Odessa Barbie/Ken This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply adding or subtracting the "snap-on" parts.
Sun City Barbie/Ken These dolls are going fast! Well, what we mean is they're old and don't have much time left. Both write checks for everything, or pay in change, and can provide hours of endless repetitive conversation about "The good ol' days."
Drives a golf cart, signals right to turn left.
Can be seen in Barbie Grocery Store (sold separately) arguing over prices.
Available at the doctor's office
