    Summary

    Ken nem találja a helyét Barbielandben. Egy arizoniai kisvárosban próbál új életet kezdeni, ez azonban korántsem olyan egyszerű, mint gondolta. Úgy érzi, semmi sincsen rendben körülötte, így hát a városka egyedi, kék gyorséttermében kezd takarítói szolgálatba. Végül „titkos" fodrászszalont is beüzemeltet. (Igaz, a dolog nagyrészt csak az ő fejében létezik.) A szomszédjaival is egész jól elkezd kijönni, köztük új családra lel, és megtalálja önmagát.
    Pár gond van csupán:
    Szárnybontogatásait a Mattel nem nézi jó szemmel.
    És meglehet, már semmi köze ahhoz a Kenhez, aki egykoron volt. Új énjével karöltve átértelmezi a Valóságot: a helyes és a helytelen megborulni látszik.

    He's just Xavier.

    Not really, he's Ken, but in some ways he's a lot like Xavier/X from The Afterparty.

    Summary

    Barbara 'Barbie' Handler and Gloria are building new lives, separately and together. Gloria takes responsibility for a new product line for Mattel . Barbie pursues a new career as an activity coordinator for a retirement village. Their feelings develop along with the new doll line . Parallel paths tackle what it means to be a woman in all stages of life. Throw in doll prototypes, accidental sleepovers, an astute teenager and a wise ghost.

    “You know I’m beginning to think that you want to be in charge of creating the perfect Ken for Barbie Handler in this world, along with the new project line. You don’t have the power to weave dreams in this world, Gloria. The definition of my humanity is having the ability to choose, it may not mean finding the perfect cut out to move along side.”

    “That’s not what I’m trying…”

    “Yes, it is, your heart is good and true. I don’t need to be an expert in humanity to see that you are avoiding self-reflection worse than Beach Ken and I on our worst periods of miscommunication. Stop trying to make Allen into Patriarchal Ken. I had a lifetime of the same conversations, with a script. I don’t want that now….not with you.”

    Summary

    Every morning in Barbie Land was the same. So were the afternoons. But then came the nights. And the nights were the one thing in Barbie Land that weren’t always the same.

    But even so, there was one night that was truly different from all the rest.

    It was the night that Weird Barbie kissed Barbie.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry…” Ivy begins. “I thought I just heard you say your name is Barbie, which can’t possibly be right, because that would be dumb as shit.”

    “Now who’s being mean?” Barbie says, crossing her arms petulantly.

    Barbie is Harley; Harley is Barbie. Poison Ivy has a bone to pick with both of them. (Look, this is Margot Robbie’s fault for being a ridiculously compelling actor; I don’t make the rules.*)

    Summary

    Barbara H. Roberts has a secret life, a past that she boxed and placed in a far corner of her mind, but when she goes back home to finally deal with her grandmother's estate, her nosy, caring best friend Gloria insists on helping her. She knows it's past time to open up and stop hiding from the people in her life. Her therapist would call it growth, but she calls it a freaking annoyance. Throw in the thoughtful ex-boyfriend whose heart she broke in her desire to flee other people's ideas of her, of "Barbie," and she can't help wondering if she misjudged everything and everyone she thought she knew.

    Summary

    “I’ve never heard of Kens being weird before.”

    “Oh, I’m not Weird.” He chuckles. “You get Weird by being played with too hard. Ken doesn’t get played with enough for that.”

    “Not Weird-weird. Just… weird. Strange, off, different. Is there anything else going on?”

    “Not really.” He rubs his chin in thought. “Just a general feeling that being myself is not enough for me, and a deep, painful emptiness that never subsides.”

    “Weird.”

    “Yes.”
