In The Pink

NYT wedding announcement of GMA weekend anchoress Bianna Golodryga's Saturday wedding to former Obama budget czar Peter Orszag on the very same weekend Mattel introduces "News Anchor Barbie" with "a flair for journalism -- and power pink!"

The curvy, glamorous. unreasonable facsimiles thereof, which won't be shipped until December 15th, carry a warning:  CHOKING HAZARD -- Small Parts.  Not for children under 3 years.

Not for anyone over the age of three . . .

  2. Choking hazard?  How about a walking hazard, if your lifesize version would be estimated at
    39-19-33, 6 feet tall, 100 pounds, wearing a size 4.
    I'm just waiting for the Klaus Barbie Doll, which gasses jews before escaping to Argentina--fashionably, of course.

  4. I thought about Klaus as well, Jim!  O, great minds think alike!  Remember Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde?"  All Barbie needs is a miniature poodle with a jewel-encrusted collar with its head poking out of News Anchor Barbie's Gucci dog carrier shoulder bag...  Gag.

  9. I hear Anderson Cooper is really bummed, stated, "Do you know how great I look in pink?" Who knows, maybe Ken will get a new lover.

    Given their insistence on keeping the likes of Courtney Friel and Ainsley Earhardt on the air, I'd say that's just about right.
