Maaaaan!

Why the hell didn't they have these when I was a kid? I would have been much more likely to play with dolls. Instead, I hung boys from trees and jumped off the balcony into snowdrifts.
N.C. Woman Sells Naughty Barbie Dolls Plastic dolls line four long shelves in Baker's store, called Annie B and the Black and White Guy. There's a cross-dressing male doll with long hot pink hair and a tight miniskirt. A "Jailbait Barbie" stands behind bars, wearing a pink and white striped uniform and an identification number. An eight-legged black widow doll crawls up a spider web, with Ken wrapped in her webbing. "She's a man-eater," the sign says. In a scenario that has its parallel in real life, Baker finds down-on-their-luck Barbies -- at thrift stores and from friends -- then introduces them to a world of sex, drugs and violence.
Talk about hours of endless entertainment!
