In celebration of Barbie’s 40th birthday, Mattel has created a series of Mormon Barbies for those folks in Utah. The most popular model, Celestial Barbie, comes with 8.4 children. She wears a mid-calf flower print Laura Ashley dress with conservative flats (no heels), a bow in her flowing, shoulder-length hair with puffy bangs. Barbie wears a permanent smile, knows how to bake bread, store wheat, feed a family of 12 on less than $200 a week, make casseroles and Jell-O salads, and still finds time to read her scriptures. She comes with an MAV Dodge/Ford/Nissan/whatever mini-van (otherwise known as a Mormon Assault Vehicle).
When you pull the cord in her back, she becomes emotional, teary, and says things like, “You have such a special spirit, Sister Jones” or “Love ya.” Occasionally you can find one that says “Oh my heck!” but be warned: this is a manufacturer’s defect. Celestial Barbie would never say “heck” because it’s a swear word!
You can buy a Celestial Ken to go with Celestial Barbie, but he’s hard to find. (Probably because he’s off fulfilling some priesthood leadership calling, so he’s rarely home.)
Other Special LDS Barbies include:
RM Barbie: comes with BYU or BYU-I sweatshirt and mini computer.
HFPE Leader Barbie: comes with all necessary baking equipment.
Primary President Barbie: not very popular, this one has no hair.
RS Presidency Barbie: sold in a unique set, these Barbie’s come complete with their own agenda!
YW Leader Barbie: comes dressed for camp with all necessary equipment.
YW Skippers: Laurels, Mia Maids, and Beehives, all cute as buttons, dressed in flannel nighties for the sleepover.
Nursery Leader Barbie: be careful! On Sunday after church, all this one wants to do is sleep.
Organist Barbie: has rimmed glasses, long fingers, and slippers.
Chorister Barbie: right arm permanently raised to a square.
Visiting Teacher Barbie: again, only sold in a set, but a true collector’s item as each set has its own recorded message!
Stake Leader Barbie: comes with a voluminous set of mini leadership manuals.
Salt Lake Leader Barbie: white hair in a hurricane do!
