by lying to them.

1. A girl can have a big house with no job
2. A girl can have a corvette with no job
3. Males just have a blank spot in their lap
4. A girl can have jet skis with no job
5. A girl can have a big truck with no job

Women are shaped like that.

Are you aware that originally Barbie was supposed to be 17 years old?

Actually, the bust proportions on Barbie are much higher than "average".... Which may explain how she can affords those things :)

One of the most common criticisms of Barbie is that she promotes an unrealistic idea of body image for a young woman, leading to a risk that girls who attempt to emulate her will become anorexic. A standard Barbie doll is 11.5 inches tall, giving a height of 5 feet 9 inches at 1/6 scale. Barbie's vital statistics have been estimated at 36 inches (chest), 18 inches (waist) and 33 inches (hips). According to research by the University Central Hospital in Helsinki, Finland, she would lack the 17 to 22 percent body fat required for a woman to menstruate.

I use Apple products but haven't seen them "resell" for prices like Barbie. Some crazy Barbie lovers out there to pay over $500,000 for one doll :facepalm:

You know, you could ask people that if they see one in a B&M to buy it for you and send them the money. There must be bronze out there somewhere, it can't be like they all sold out at once.

ETA: Where in TX are you?

I only know one other person who vapes and the only ProVari he's seen is mine. Anybody else wouldn't have a clue.

I live in the largest city in TX and I know of places that carry the ProVari, so I could go looking myself. I just REFUSE to pay the marked up price at a B&M.

Live well, Love hard, Laugh often & vape on!

Actually, the B&M near me only charges a dollar more than Provape's site and the Dragon prices others have shared were $40-50 more than the ones (non-Dragon) on the website but that is a bit justified considering.

I dunno. From what I've heard, while there is a mark-up, it's not completely outrageous, especially if it's something you really want.

ETA: According to ProVape's store locator, Vixen Vapors is a ProVari reseller. They probably aren't the closest store to you (they have stores in Pantego and Ft. Worth), but I love them. I have been buying my ADV from them for going on 2 years.

Yeah 39 FF cup [emoji15]
BARBIE
Barbie’s height would be 7’2″
Her weight would be 101 lbs.
She would wear a size 4 dress
Her bust would be 39″ (FF cup)
Her waist would be 19″ (same as her head)
Her hips would be 33″
Her shoe size would be a 5

One dollar more isn't bad and for a limited edition I would expect to pay more. I've seen the satin silver for $50 more than the provape site. It would be my luck that the one I want would be marked up even more.

True, hence the reason I've avoided looking lately. Seeing it in person would shatter my whole "markup" excuse.

You're right, they aren't close.....at least a 4 hour drive away.

There's a few estimates, but the original Barbie dimensions, if you extrapolated to a typical height, would leave her with:

-A neck that may not be capable of keeping her head up
-Arms and legs absurdly twiggy
-Especially wrists and ankles
-Notably, it's unlikely her ankles would support her weight - Barbie would have to crawl.

I know, sexy, right?

Edit: adding LOL trivia
Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled "How to Lose Weight" with directions inside stating simply "Don't eat."

Back in stock and ordered.

:)

Thanks again.

I think you will like it. :) I suggest watching the video I linked to earlier for tips. As the reviewer demonstrates, filling it by pulling down the tube is much easier (and faster) than using the fill hole.
