Non-human Barbie

Did you know that there were non-human Barbie dolls? Maybe if I were the parent of a little girl, this would be old news to me. But it's not. And to my eyes, it's weird. Does Mermaid Barbie have sex with land-dwelling Ken? Does she leave sea-slug trails all over Barbie's Malibu Dream House? The mind boggles.

I'm strictly a shower guy myself. Not to say Mermaid Barbie wouldn't still be welcome.....

IS MERMAID BARBIE ANATOMICALLY CORRECT?

Are little MerGirls being unduly put under pressure trying to live up to an idol that is not anatomically correct? Her tail which is longer than the norm by at least 20% is an unobtainable goal for the young MerGirls to live up to and may be a major factor in the recent spate of drownings.

nobody has sex with ken, he is NOT anotomically correct. but on the bright side no little boys feel insecure by comparison. i sure hope mermaid barbie doesn't run into any of those rapist dolphins either! 🐛
