My birthday is a few days before Christmas, and Barbie came out the year I was four. My father was sick that year and in and out of the hospital, and my mom was working nights in a restaurant to support us.

I wish they would come back to the States and do another episode here... the last one, where they almost got beat up in the South, was hilarious. My daughter even sent them a fan letter (via email), inviting them over to dinner if they ever head through 'round here parts. Perhaps I'll just serve tea....

OK, I know everyone shits on lululemon around here, but after have a premature mid life crisis a few years ago, quitting medicine and thinking I would devote my life to yoga (yes that happened) I went to work for lululemon.
