so yea.. uni started again.. the workload does not seem all that overwhleming YET.. considering i hv only attended 2 classes so far... but i forsee another hectic one ahead. thankfulness must be given to God for bring me through the past sem despite my laziness and general procrastination i still managed to do okay..
anyways, i got something from class which i absolutely have to share. (for those who do not/have not lived in perth and don't know its surrounding suburbs i guess u can skip it)
this was given during my fashion merchandising unit and this article (if u can call it that) was difining the market sector using the iconic Barbie.
Floreat Barbie:
This princess Barbie is only sold at DJ's or Myer. She comes with an assortment of LV handbags, Lexus, a long-haired foreign dog named Honey, and a cookie-cutter house. Available with or without tummy tuck and face lift. Workaholic Ken sold only in conjunction with "augmented" version.
Ellenbrook Barbie:
This modern-day homemaker Barbie is available with Toyota minivan and matching tracksuit. She gets lost easily and has no full time occupation or secondary education. Traffic-jamming mobile phone sold separately.
Balga Barbie:
This recently paroled former "Adult Actress" Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, hunting knife, Kingswood with dark tinted windows, and a methlab kit. This model is only available after dark and can only be paid for in cash. Preferably in small, untraceable bills. Unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are talking about.
Crawley Barbie:
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Volvo. Included are a Dome travel cup, credit cards, French pedicure and exclusive gym membership. Also available for this set are Real Estate Magnate Ken and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any of them.
Rockingham Barbie:
This pale model comes dressed in her own jeans two sizes too small, oversized Holden t-shirt, and Tweety Bird tattoo on her shoulder. She has a six-pack of Bundy & Coke and Cold Chisel CD set. She can spit over 5m and kick mullet-haired Ken's butt when she is drunk. Purchase her custom Torana separately and get a 'Bad Bitch' bumper sticker absolutely free. Also available in single mother variety with matching lycra/flannelette shirt outfit for her visits to the local shopping centre.
Peppermint Grove Barbie:
This collagen injected, rhinoplastic Barbie wears a leopard print bikini, Jimmy Choo slides and drinks cosmopolitans while entertaining friends at her custom, 2,000m² house. Shallow Ken can be found in the cabana making out with Jail Bait Skipper. Valium prescription recommended.
Gosnells Barbie:
This Winnie blue smoking, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased Beer-Gut Ken out of Rockingham Barbie's house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter top. Also available with a caravan.
Fremantle Hippy Barbie:
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, archless feet, hairy armpits, no makeup, and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her "Willow". May not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Fremantle Hippy Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag sticker free. Bonus John Butler CD with every purchase.
Midland Barbie:
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional accessories include a MultiRider and Centrelink card. Parole Ken and his XF Falcon were available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.
South Perth Barbie:
With frosted blonde hair and a French manicure, she's perfect in every way. We don't know where Ken is because he's always away 'on business' or 'golfing' possibly with East Perth Barbie.
East Perth Barbie/Ken:
This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply adding or subtracting the multiple "snap-on" parts.
for those perth residents i'm sure uve had a good laugh. u can sure tell which are the less high class areas and which are the 'bangsar"s of perth.

another thing i wanted to blog about is reading other peoples blogs- esp those who you aren't very close to but you just read out of kaypohness.
a few weeks ago someone passed me the link of someone's blog who i knew a few years back. and reading it made me realised how people are so different from when they are theyre blogging selves and when they are in person. same goes with msn and all. prob the fact that u can filter ure expressions and ure initial reaction gives some that freedom.
but i have to say my pet peeve when reading blogs is those blogs that seem to go on and on and on about the same thing. i mean.. get over it! makes u wonder why they put it out there for others to read...
okies.. its all out.. and p/s: wan... here's ure "real" post... :P
