The Adventures of Barbie Barbie...and Friends!

Amstel Curaçao. Everybody talks about the beaches, the beer, and the nail-biting excitement of the race itself. But did it ever occur to anyone to discuss the very real dangers of the Caribbean? In an effort to increase the safety of our beloved pro peloton, we offer the following handy-dandy...

I'll try to keep Barbie Barbie appearing weekly throughout the off-season, but I wouldn't be surprised if the holidays got in the way again. Sorry about that.

Wow

that about sums things up. Just… wow.

Tickets are bought, Belgium here I come!

This is very helpful indeed.

It’s all fun and games until someone loses a finger. Or his virginity.

ROFL

Too funny as well as very educational.

On the other hand

this post lends great insight into the purposes of Amstel Curacao, and why it tends to draw younger, more obviously single riders. Leave it to Frank, however, to get engaged there… the booty errand equivalent of flipping over a guardrail.

Fortunately

it won’t be Buff Abe, he needs his right hand more than ever.

Is EBH really wearing a Zebra swimsuit?

Seems a bit flashy for him. Or has King Mario been hanging around the Columbia team bus lately?

well

you know how it is with those shy boys.

It's not that bad--mostly blue.

I for one do not support Barbie on Dolphin porn...

Look, it's a bird...no, it's a plane....oh never mind it's just fucking balloon boy

Ahem.

Well that's fine, it's the barbie and stuffed dolphin part I don't approve of.

I remembered this one

but “nud-covered Benna” I didn’t; seeing it made your version much more fun. Could be useful to include links to these stage setting pics on your page?

by tedvdw on Dec 4, 2009 1:04 AM EST up reply actions  

Good idea

I actually set something like that up on the Barbie Barbie page yesterday. Now, if you click on one of the images, you’ll be directed to a paragraph of notes, explaining background stuff and including reference shots when they exist. Example. I’ll be happy to include that link here from now on.

Notes for Finned Creatures.

very fun!

This gets better and better!

by gavia on Dec 4, 2009 1:17 PM EST up reply actions  

Footnotes - excellent!

Now I don’t have to spend 10 minutes explaining each episode to my friends. Though they’ve loved it too, even without the notes.

by Veloki on Dec 4, 2009 1:58 PM EST up reply actions  

Tan lines on EBH too?

Your touch is superb.

I’m glad we have an EBH too now – I can see him and Haussler providing good fodder this spring…

I do have a new doll--one that took me about 6 tries to get on eBay.

Haven’t quite decided how to use him or if I’ll need to make his kit (relatively easy one, but I don’t think I have what I need on hand). There’s an idea in my head for a Christmas-themed episode that might use 3 or 4 dolls, maybe 2 of which will be new…

But next week, back to the original Barbie Barbie. It’s his series, after all.

Bringing in too many gueststars

is usually a good sign that a series has jumped the shark so that seems wise.

by Jens on Dec 4, 2009 11:53 AM EST up reply actions  

If only Abe had been able to jump the shark...

Buff Abe is my favourite character

I can’t look at him without laughing.
