Separated At Birth? Malibu Barbie and Cindy Lou Whosit


Malibu Barbie?


Cindy Lou Whosit, the prototype for Malibu Barbie apparently, has set out on her very own to campaign for hubby McCracker and sidekick, or other wife, Palinista. She has her very own talk circuit now and it is called Malibu Cindy squeaks out - all about mean mean Obama. Up until this point we didn't even know that came with the ability to squeak, sorry speak!

Bet those photos make you want to take a big sip from that wine glass. Go ahead. We can wait!


Better? Ok, here we go.


Lulu and Phoebe first saw Cindy Lou Whosit in action today and ran straight for the toy box. They were relieved to discover that their Malibu Barbie was still safe in her Barbie canopy bed. For a moment they thought she had gone on tour campaigning for the McPalin group.

And yes, some dogs have dolls. Do you think a dog like Lulu who keeps ordering online couture could live without a Barbie? Please.

Then the funniest thing happened. I found them with a still photo of Cindy Lou, examining every detail down to her stiletto feet with a magnifying glass. I asked them what they were doing and they replied that they were simply trying to figure out if Cindy Lou Whosit's feet were bent like Malibu Barbie's.

If you ever had a Barbie doll, you know what they are talking about. They were wondering if Cindy Lou had to walk on her toes if she was barefoot because her entire foot was shaped to wear stilettos only. That exaggerated raised heel posture only a Barbie could tolerate because she is made from injection molded plastic. I laughed and told them I didn't think so. But they are not convinced.

And side by side, those photos look alarmingly similar. One wonders. Who came first?

Cindy Lou? If you are willing, could you please show these two little nutcases that you have real feet like the rest of us and you aren't made from injection molded plastic? Or are you?
