You'll love the train of thought on this one.

One of my near and dear friends is currently living it up in Mexico at the moment. While logging onto facebook this morning I noticed that he had tagged me in a photo; which is odd, because unless I am mistaken I haven't traveled to Mexico in the past couple of weeks. Intrigued, I open up the photo. What displayed on my screen was a little Mexican figurine. He aptly titled the photo "Miss Ginger Devine, Día de los Muertos style!". First I noticed how the figurine and I looked oddly similar. Then I noticed that me, as a figurine, is ridiculously skinny - praise Jesus - even if it is because she is a skeleton.  

So then I had a random thought that eventually played out into a fantasy and now is my new business venture; Ginger dolls! Imagine an entire line of my very own barbie-like dolls. I thought about the collector's editions that I would periodically release. Here are some of my favorite themes that I would have as part of my line.

1. Burlesque Ginger - complete with pop-off corset

2. Soccer Mom Ginger - complete with cooler full of margarita mix, a microphone to shout disparaging comments at other children. Bedazzled mini-van sold separately.

3. First Lady Ginger - features either blue or red power suits.

4. Croutching Tiger Hidden Drag Queen Ginger - the ninja Ginger. Accessories for this Ginger include Press on Nails Ninja Stars and her stilleto katana

5. Ghetto Ginger - complete with vocal sound bytes. Ghetto Ginger will intermittently say such things as "why are you getting all bijigady in my grill", "oh no he didn't", and "security!"

6. Autobot Ginger - aid Ginger as she tried to stop the Deceptacons and make the world a safer place.

On top of many of the variates of dolls that I would offer, I would also periodically release collector's editions like "Ginger Does her Favorite Divas" with me dressed up as Bette, Cher, Celine, Mariah, and Tina. There would also be the "Wizard of Oz" collector's edition with Ginger as the magnificent Glinda - with only a limited amount of flying pink bubbles available for sale. I think I could be on to something here; imagine the ridiculous and fabulous wardrobe options for a drag queen barbie doll.

Best part is that if I actually got a Ginger doll, then I would be able to break out my NSYNC dolls and have "play dates" - I'm just saying - and then break out my Cher doll and have Ginger and Cher play "dress up". My life would be complete ;)
