She can spit over 5 feet and kick mullet-haired Ken's butt when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free.
"Warehouse District Barbie"
This collagen injected, rhino plastic Barbie wears a leopard print outfit and drinks cosmopolitans while entertaining friends. Percocet prescription available as well as warehouse conversion condo.
"Buda 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-gutted Ken out of Bastrop Barbie's house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter-top. Also available with a mobile home.
" Travis Heights Barbie"
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks with white socks.

" Del Valle Barbie"
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional accessories include a GED and bus pass. Gangsta Ken and his 1979 Caddy were available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.
"Hutto Barbie"
She's perfect in every way. We don't know where Ken is because he's always out a-'huntin'.
"Downtown Barbie/Ken"
This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply adding/subtracting the multiple snap-on parts.

Where's the Pflugerville Barbie?
I've seen this posted on MySpace as well. Do you know who created this? I asked my friend who posted it, and he said he didn't know.
I do find some of these stereotypes rather offensive, but many are funny as well.
I'm not sure who created it. I got it from a friend's post on MySpace. As for a Pflugerville Barbie...that would be me!
What happened to the South Austin (78704) Barbie? You know, the one with the hemp blouse and Ken with the peasant shirt? How about the Leslie Barbie? Then again, it is probably best you left that one out!
So funny!!!!
I'm made entirely out of tofo! Too weird!
Someone said they are offended. I can only guess they are one or more of the stereotypes. If so, they should be offended but not by this post but by their own ignorance. Yes, I agree. It is funny.
WHy are you guys still using Myspace?
Pflugerville Barbie - East Austin flight because of gentrification.
