I was out for my walk today and decided to stop in at Mattel’s Toy Store to see what they had. Besides, I had a 50% off coupon that was asking to be used.
That’s when I saw Princess Barbie standing near the entrance with her little entourage of helpers. She was obviously there to promote a new product in the Barbie lineup so I figured hell, why not?
Here you have it, folks. Me and Princess Barbie striking a pose. (Click on image for Flickr notes.) I sent the image to Ann immediately after I took it and, knowing Ann, if I ever turn up missing or found dead in an alley somewhere, this will be the one she will provide to all the local news outlets. Trust me on that.

Was GI Joe on a coffee break or something?

GI Joe is made by Hasbro so I think his presence would violate any contractual obligation he may have with them.
And I hear that Ken was out getting a pedicure.
