You know something’s genuine when it’s signed and authenticated on the ass. This is an auction for a very rare Barbie doll number one. Now, I may not be one for dolls, but if I had over $5,000 petty cash laying around, even I’d consider bidding on what’s sure to only increase in value as a highly collectible item.

I still have to chuckle though when I think of all the controversy this little sweetheart has caused. With anatomical proportions that would make Darwin’s head spin, poor little Barbie has often been dissed for encouraging unhealthy body images. I still think she’s pretty darn cute though.
