Oh, Barbie, you tart

Scented Barbie? Scented COLLECTOR Barbie? Scented collector Barbie with a Mary Tyler Moore flip and a shredded-lettuce style gown which has so much extra junk hanging off it that it could have been designed by Santino of "Project Runway"?

What didn't work for Strawberry Shortcake in the 1980s isn't really going to be a much better idea for Barbie in 2006. Scented dolls pretty much reek. I'm getting the feeling some poor desperate Mattel employee had to meet a new-idea quota and just wrote "scented dolls!" down kind of randomly, and that they were as shocked as anyone else when the company said "great idea, let's make it!"
