Even Barbies Get Self-Conscious
I have not one damn thing to do at work today. Okay, not entirely true -- I filed four pieces of paper for Chick Boss, and I have to enter five checks that came in. But you can see how it'd be easy to mistake that for not one damn thing to do, no?
Yesterday was the same way, so I spent the better part of my day snort-giggling over the sheer comic genius of Alien Loves Predator. So much so that I sent a link to Husband, who ALSO thought it was funny. Which now brings the total of Things Husband And I Agree Are Funny up to a whopping three.
1. Kathy Griffin
2. Farting and/or Pooping
3. Alien Loves Predator
Last night, Husband was still singing the praises of A.L.P., when he said to me, "You should do that with your Barbies! You already take pictures of them for your blog, right?"
Oh my God. I could TOTALLY DO THAT!!!
Wait. Could I?
Well, I'm practically doing it already, just on a smaller scale. And I'm funny, right? Take photos, add captions -- BINGO!
So I ran the idea past Heather this morning, and we were reduced to puddles of pee while exploring the possibilities. I'm really jazzed about the whole thing, and I was considering feigning "female trouble" to The Boss in order to buy myself an unquestioned day off.
But I figure I should start small and see if I have any sort of penchant for this sort of thing. And small means I can get started using what limited resources I have available to me at work.
And you know what I discovered? Cartooning is HARD. Dude, I am so not funny! But with the help of Heather, the Barbie Collector Website and many, many hours of idle boredom, I came up with a few that I'm not too ashamed to include here.
Nope, I was wrong. I am ashamed.

That last one is good, I snorted which is always attractive.
Nothing to be ashamed of :)

I would totally do the gay one in the hat. Why didn't Barbies dress like that when my sister had them?
