I collect stuff. Sue me ;)

Mattel have over the years released "theme" and "media" Barbies. Linda has a few in her collection including the Wizard of Oz. A couple of years ago as she knows I collect anything to do with Catwoman, she picked this one up for our collection.

Now, given that Barbie is meant to be the epitome of American Middleclass Suburban Soccer Mom, do you think it's just a tad subversive to give her a vinyl fetish suit, knee boots in the style of a hooker and a whip?

Non?

Maybe times have changed afterall.

This is amazing! Who knew Barbie was into this! They could do other fetishes like s & m barbie, self asphyxiation barbie, adult baby barbie ...

On a serious note, they should really make a Betty Page Barbie, surely that would be a good seller ??

Hell yeah! I think Selina K being an ex dominatrix/prostitute is such an great message to send out. Did you know they did an Elektra (from Dare Devil). She's a ninja assassin who has come back from the dead countless times. So, between ex-hookers and zombie hitwomen, Barbie has it made.

Bettie P would have a place in my collection ;)
