Barbie's big gay Malibu wedding?

Copyranter posted this pic with the observation that Barbie appears to be hooking up with Ellen Degeneres.

It's actually supposed to be Ken in this colouring book, and the scenario is actually a movie premiere. The illustrator just seems to have Bieberized Ken for the little girl market.

Too bad. Since Ken went all lavender anyway, in the early '90s, Barbie might as well expand her horizons.

And it's not like homophobic parents should have any problems with a Sapphic Barbie. I've had a good 41 year run with heterosexuality, despite early exposure to Big Jim's very special friend, Jack.

I think it was the homemade pants.

Barbie? Is that you?

This collector's edition doll is designed by Japanese-inspired Italian "lifestyle brand" Tokidoki, and is available for $50 at their online store.

The pitch:

"Tokidoki® Barbie® doll is always ready for cutting-edge fashion! This funky fashionista features trendy tattoos and a pink bob. With cactus friend, Bastardino, by her side, she’s ready for fun in fashion-forward form!"

Pink hair? Tattoos? "Bastardino"?

This isn't your grandmother's feminine ideal.
