The professors have started to arrive, asking "Where's the lounge? Where's my office?" and the like.

So I am Tour Guide Barbie. I'm being relentlessly perky and showing them things with elaborate flourishes.

If I'm going to be on my feet all day, I may as well have fun with it!

Okay, now I have this wonderful mental image of you in this horrible blue and white barbie uniform outfit, your feet deformed to fit into blue spike heels tottering through the building with a plastic smile...

And on your right, you'll see the faculty condo with real cloth couches...some assembly required, not recommended for staff with in IQ under 3 because of small parts and choking hazards...

Her feet are already deformed.

Yeah, but not like Barbie's thank goodness...there's a difference between uniquely placed toes and phallic feet.

You love 'em. :)

You know you wanna touch 'em... :)

Now I get this strange picture of you in my head as a barbie doll. Doesn't suit you at all, but it seems funny.

"Miss, where's the bathroom??"
"Please hold all questions until the end of the tour!"

Be glad you have [livejournal.com profile] yendi at home to massage your face after it gets stretched out of shape from all that smiling. "Are they gone yet? Ouch, my face!"

cheers,
Phil

Tell "Tour Guide Ken" to give you an extra special tour tonight. You'll need to relax. {hugs}

I'd think that would just frustrate her, unless they're making Tour Guide Ken anatomically correct these days.

He's got fingers; he can manage. ^_-

So that's why she stays with him! I always thought he was just a trophy boyfriend.

He *is* a trophy husband, she's getting her real action on the sly from the 12" collectible Boba Fett.

I don't know where I read this, but I remember someone describing Ken as wearing, "permanent, flesh-coloured underpants."

I recall wondering what the difference was if he couldn't take 'em off. :)
