Isn’t it gawwwgeous?! Mattel has issued a limited edition Barbra Streisand Barbie doll that retails for $55, and designed in the image of a 1960s Babs performing in a sailor suit she wore on the Judy Garland Show.

Ever the perfectionist she is, Barbra had a hand in the design of the doll. She revealed on Thursday’s Oprah show that it still isn’t quite how she wanted it to be:

“I worked on this doll, very hard. The slit was in the back, had it go on the side. The fabric–the bow had a limp, it had to go straight. The hair is actually a little too silver, the bow is a little short, but it’s okay Mattel.”

The Burqini is a woman’s answer to modest swimwear. It doesn’t show any skin, but it’s not too loose to the point where it’s difficult to swim. The garment is designed with the respect of Islamic values and aimed to enhance the lifestyle of the active Muslim female. As a bonus, you won’t have to do any carb counting to hit the pool or beach in one of these babies.

The American Girl doll company has unveiled its newest addition to the multi-culti collection–a homeless girl.

Gwen Thompson joins the black chick, Latina chick, Jewish chick and about five other dolls who basically look exactly alike, with varying hair and eye color, for a bargain price tag of $95.

Here’s Gwen’s bio:

Her father ran out on the family and her mother lost her job. By winter, the fatherless family is living in their car.

Does Gwen look like a so-called homeless girl to you? She resembles any spoiled Cali girl to me. I decided to go ahead and re-work the doll to reflect homelessness more accurately:

I never thought the day would come when I would come across a Playboy magazine printed in Braille.

So I’d just like to take this time out to say: Thank You, Internet.

A one-time edition of Playboy magazine was issued for the blind in January 1974, and it’s currently on sale on Ebay for a bargain of $8.50! I wonder if the pictures feel extra good in Braille!

Only on Ebay, the MUST HAVE ITEM of all time “Jesus riding dinosaur oil painting.” The auction just ended, but some lucky person is now the owner of this sweet work of art. I’m sure there was a bidding war between Heidi Montag and Kevin Jonas.

Can I introduce you to my favorite new person, Geri™ The Complete Nursing Skills Manikin / Mannequin?

She’s a realistic nursing teaching doll with the face of Jermaine Jackson and the body of Cloris Leachman, only Geri is so much cooler. She’s got a bed sore on her butt and foot, cancer Melanoma on her shoulder, one dilated eye and a vagina that has internal reservoirs and plumbing used for various functions. Are you going to have fun with this one or what?

Sorry fellas (or laaaadies), this does NOT work as a sex doll. But kudos if you give it a try. It’s currently on sale on Ebay for $200, but retails for $1400. What a deal, huh?

Here’s the product description:

Wow! What a find, just back from the Worlds Longest Yard Sale. Six hundred miles of sales covering five states, Hwy. 127, Crossville Tn. My partner and I both spotted this beauty at the same time. She was sitting on a saddle, draped in a red Matador’s cape, SO INTRIGUING! No wig, a man’s face and grandma’s boobs. Come to find out it’s called a  “Geri™ The Complete Nursing Skills Manikin”.  She is not new but is in excellent health, except for a bed sore on her butt and foot, what appears to be Cancer ” Melanoma”on her shoulder, one dilated eye, one normal, you get the picture:

She is ideal for preparing students for working  with real-life geriatric patents.

*****A few of her attributes are:*****

* She has an elderly appearance, with life like wrinkles and folds, age spots, and her hands and feet are oh so soft.

* Her  legs can easily be removed for convienent storage or transportation.

* She has a full range of motion and the nonpinch joints allows for realistic patient positioning.

* She has pads for “shot giving” in the arm, leg and hip.

* Her dental plates, both upper and lower can be removed, they are attached in a life-like mouth.

*She comes with complete female genitalia, with internal reservoirs and plumbing used for various functions. A very realistic teaching aid! Attachment of the male genitals, not included in this auction, converts it for male catherization and prostate examination simulations.

* She has flex-tubing from her nose and mouth to her lung\pouch, also one extra pouch.

Tobacco Smoke Enemas (1750s – 1810s)
The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient’s rectum for various medical purposes, primarily thte resuscitation of drowning victims.  A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum.  The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase “blow smoke up one’s ass.”
