Butch Barbie
Will Butch Barbie take off? Ms Subversive explores the possibilities.
I’ve got some creative online chat friends.

One night we came up with a concept which we’re sure will take off.

Butch Barbie was born one night after Firecracker asked me to dress one of her Barbie dolls. I complained to my online chat friends that the clothes that Barbie wears are too fiddly and girlie and that “someone” needs to invent Barbie clothes that are more practical and less fiddly... perhaps even butch.

We toyed with names and ideas – what would Butch Barbie wear, what vehicle would she prefer, would she carry a handbag? There were a myriad of options and opportunities and it was a fun way to spend a few hours.

So, are you curious to see what sort of Butch Barbie a committee of strangers on a lesbian dating site chat room put together?

Well, now you can see for yourself.

Agapi Mounilickalotopuss is of an unknown age, but like most Barbies, ageless. She is a Barbie for all seasons. She wears simple, yet timeless clothing – a singlet under her flanny shirt, straight leg jeans and Doc Martens boots. Her hair is styled in a mullet, she has tattoos on her arms and piercings on her face, ears and... well, in other places. She drives a black pick up truck and keeps a Triumph parked in her garage.

She is sociable and likes to hang out with her friends – talking about gals, motorbikes and the footy. She smokes and drinks scotch or beer, depending on her mood.

She is a fan of sleep overs and carries her supplies in her backpack. She is prepared for every occasion. In her backpack she carries nipple clamps, butt plug, dildo, lube, sunglasses, her harness and other paraphernalia to make the evenings more ... interesting.

She is the proud owner of a Pink Sofa membership and her nickname on there varies – sometimes it’s Lustarella, other times Barbwire, and then at other times she likes Barbalicious.

As a woman of the world, who’s been with many and hasn’t finished exploring her world and her options, she has three pick up lines which she uses regularly: “You! In my room, now!” is her most preferred. She goes for “Wanna play?” when she’s being coy. But when she really likes you and wants to take you home she doesn’t hesitate to come up you and whisper in your ear, “My face is leaving in three minutes... be on it!”.

The only thing we didn’t get much of a chance to workshop was what kind of emotional baggage Butch Barbie would have packed in her backpack. It seems to be an integral part of being a woman of a certain age... emotional baggage.

When it was time to say goodbye to my online friends I walked away with a smile on my face. We’d created a monster, I was sure, but we’d had fun doing it. I’ve never been one for stereotypes, but Butch Barbie seemed to have a bit of all of us, and yet wasn’t like any of us.

I wonder what Firecracker would say if I gave her Agapi for Christmas?
