Now we can recreate all our favorite scenes from The L Word with these new custom-made Dyke Dolls. Several lezzie stereotypes are represented, meaning that they are good for hours of imaginative play. So there aren't really any that look like Shane or Carmen; at least their faces are kind of sour like they're in a fight.

Genia at SistersTalk describes them as a "Ken with breasts," but these dolls have much bigger arms and could definitely give Ken the beat-down if provoked.

Barbie has taken a beating recently. Back in 2004 she split from Ken and since then she has watched her status as the top selling fashion doll edged out by the Bratz dolls. You know the Bratz dolls. They are the freaky dolls with the freakishly big heads. They’re basically Amanda Lepore dolls.

Well Barbie has seen the light of day and it appears the separation from Ken is ending. They’re back together. But as our reader Bill realizes, “Oh, dear. Ken and Barbie have reunited. The redesigned Ken is described as ‘Matthew McConaughey meets Orlando Bloom.’ How gay! He wears mesh shirts and cargo pants and has a ‘softer mouth.’ EEEEEEEK!”

Yep, it’s official: Barbie is a beard.

Yesterday’s news from those oh-so Concerned Women For America that Mattel is “promoting gender confusion" among children” through a Barbie.com poll had us up in arms (well more like chuckling. Ok, you got us. We had the worst laughing fit since Tyra Banks dressed up as Paris Hilton for halloween last year).

When asking for the child’s sex, the poll’s options include a response of “I don’t know.” How dare our favorite childhood make such a goof? It's just terrible.

Mattel has since fixed what they describe as a monstrous technical error.

But in all seriousness, we don’t see why they haven’t been up and arms over Ken all this time. Even as grade schoolers, his smoothed over and penis-free crotch area made us realize at a very young age that he was a post-op trannie.

Exhibit A after the jump.
