We finally had our Barbie 50th Party this weekend. My sister bought me this sparkly, special edition doll. She was a bit darker than the one I originally coveted but I love her just as much. This racially ambiguous doll was a great topic of discussion. Is she Puerto Rican, Black, or Asian Indian? We also talked about how back in our day, Barbie was a blond, Caucasian. Mattel has really come a long way since then.In addition to Racially Ambiguous Barbie, Transgendered Ken also made an appearance at our soiree!
Tranny Ken showed up wearing an ill-fitting dress. She could not find shoes to match. A perfect candidate for "What Not To Wear". She is staying at our house. Don't think the folks at Children's Hospital would appreciate her. Special thanks to Pam for this "collectible"!
I made my specialty chicken and beef Kabobs
I also whipped up a "Stripper Ken" cake. It was "Berry Good"!
The Barbie Gift Table
My sister, aka Hostess With The Mostest muti-tasking as usual. She is doing the Drink, Eat & Be Merry Dance.
The Guests of Honor with the special cake!
I'll take a slice of Ken, please.
That Ken is such a doll. I could just eat him up!

That looks like too much fun! And transgender Ken is HOT!
Awesome party. The cake had me dying. What a fun party.
Everyone seems as if they had a wickedly good time. I got hungry looking at the food. Mattel certainly has come a long, long way from when I was a kid playing with Barbie and Midge and Skipper and . . .
Transgendered Ken and Cake Ken, what a party! Looks like you had a great time. Happy belated birthday!
Oh my gosh! You are hilarious! The pictures cracked me up! Glad you had such a great time!
Love it, love it, love it! Poor Tranny Ken. He never could fit into Barbie's shoes.
What a great party idea. Looks like it was a blast!
