Kissing Snippet: Barbie and Max Steel

Okay…so one year for Christmas…Santa showered my daughter Sandy with tons of Barbie stuff!  Sure she was like already fourteen…but Sandy and I both are Barbie fanatics, and Santa knew she  would love some new Barbies, Barbie clothes, accessories, etc.  So one glorious Christmas morning, Sandy and I awoke to find Barbie Heaven just waiting for us!

Naturally, Sandy is as big a romantic as I am…therefore, it wasn’t long before we decided to take some romantic kissing pictures of Barbie and Ken.  BUT…hold the phone!  Mitchel ran upstairs and got his Max Steel doll!  Rippling  with perfectly sculpted albeit plastic muscles…Max Steel put poor Ken to shame!  Thus, a shirtless Max Steel won Barbie’s heart (and lips) that day!  (Please note:  the Max Steel doll did not come equipped with a shirt…so it worked in our favor.)

So, just for fun…here a couple of the photos we took that fun Christmas morning nearly ten years ago!  (You have to admit it…Max Steel blows poor Ken away!)  (If you have a camera and a Barbie and Ken…snap a couple of kissing shots of your own, e-mail them to me and I’ll post them!)

    Ha ha ha! I LOVE it! Made my day! I wish my Barbie’s had survived my brother’s GI Joe’s. Max Steele is much more of a gentleman!

    That is every little girl’s dream! Love it! Missy, I feel your pain. I was the only girl with five brothers. My barbies’ appendages ended up on the roof along with Ken’s head. sniff. Marcia, i think that second shot should be on the cover of your next book…:) :)

    HA HA that is so funny. Nice rippling muscles! Makes me want to check out what barbies my daughter has. I’m sad that I won’t be able to go to your meet and greet when you come to Utah. Just as you come here I head to Missouri ahhh.. I hope there are more in the future. Hey just wondering…has anyone ever asked you to write a book with their names in it? I would love to give my husband a short love story with our names as the main characters. He may roll his eyes but I would sure get a kick out it! :)

    I have never seen this Max Steel before! He is much more dreamy than Ken. Somehow my childhood seems a little shortchanged now!

    I’m jealous!!! A plastic doll has had more kisses than me. And here I am, almost twenty, and I haven’t had my first kiss yet. :( How depressing! On another note, I love those pictures. They can make anyone smile.

    Simply divine!
    That Max Steel is absolutely dreamy.
    I never had a Ken doll… only Heman and muscle men (I have 6 brothers - the only girl).
    Rhetorical question: Do you not think Dierks Bentley’s voice is the epitome of a McClure man? (we call all your men ‘McClure men’ and anyone else who resembles them).
    I also think that Tim Tebow is a real live McClure man, don’t you think? (personality, character, looks… all the above)
    This is too fun.
