The First Barbie Commercial (1959)
Times certainly were simpler 50 years ago. Perhaps I would have been just like Barbie: married to an anatomically correct Ken, sans crotch fruit, living in a cosmopolitan city, buying new dresses while Ken goes to work every day to do a job I don't understand... instead of just like anti-Barbie, living out of a suitcase and going half-insane over my Dream Hearse.
I like that the featured one has black hair like mine. But the rest of the Barbie scenario is totally unrealistic. I mean, who does that stuff?

Jesus, songs like that were old-fashioned long before that commercial even aired. The 50s weren't even over, and here we have nostalgia for the EARLY 50s. I mean, who didn't love Ike and Korea, and women and darkies who knew their place, amirite?
It's like 1959 was making some last, desperate attempt to arrest the onslaught of the 1960s and that philandering mick Kennedy. Guess it should come as no surprise Barbie is a Republican plot. Tricky Dick, you sly devil.
Don't let bullshit from ANY decade seep into your head. First thing you should do is make two 10' lines of cheap knock-off Barbies and turn them into so much melty kibble with your tires. I think little chunks of plastic corpse will fit perfectly with your motif.
