I don’t know about this Comic Con business but things have reached a pretty pass when Barbie starts wearing microminis and tarty boots, and dying her hair magenta. What kind of message does this send to our daughters and daughters-to-be? Barbie should have worn a nice, knee length black pencil skirt and a silk blouse (with sleeves), sensibly buttoned, to the Comedian Convention or whatever it’s called. She would have looked chic and made the proper impression. Young people today don’t seem to realize that first impressions last a lifetime, and that they’ll never find honest work in this economy if they look slovenly and disrespectful. And to anyone who might want to respond with hostility to this comment, YHBT. YHL. HAND. If you do not know what that means then why are you reading about Comedy Convening or whatever it’s called?

[...] very generous 17-page preview for you. I met Becky Cloonan last year during Comic-Con for my Barbie photo-blog. She’s already incredibly talented, so there’s really no need to be that cool. I wish [...]

Hi Michael, thank you for the info on the tricorner. I passed on the info to Barbie, but she insisted it should now be called a grinding hat. Thanks for reading!

And thanks to Brian Cronin at Comics Should Be Good for linking to us!

Barbie, that kind of hat is called a “tricorner.” It was very popular during the Revolutionary War era, which was 1775-1781.

Chris, thank you, I’m glad you like our coverage. I will be sure to pass on your appreciation to Barbie and Ken. I didn’t know about the Commie-Con bit. I’ll be sure to not mention it for next year’s coverage.

Tiina, thank you as well! Yes, Barbie had quite a day. I was worried her hair was going to get too messed up but it held up pretty good. Her red stockings, though, had to be torched. They were just too dangerous.

Thanks for the great coverage & awesome photos!! Boy, Barbie sure made the rounds at the Con. Those red stockings were probably pretty stanky by the end of the weekend.

Finally! Some Comi-Con coverage that makes sense! Everyone else I’ve read talked about how weird the attendees were, and totally missed the point of being there! Thanks, Barbie (and Ken) for this exclusive insider look at ComiCon08!! And thanks for not bringing up that it sounds too much like Commie-Con, which was an old bait-and-switch game grifters used to pull back in the McCarthy days. No, not Charlie.
