I feel that when, eventually, we are given the wonderful treasure of the Official Bai Ling Barbie, this will be one of the outfits included with purchase. (Obviously, the doll comes dressed in a bra top, loincloth and fuzzy boots -- the classic Bai Ling Look.)
When we received the press release about this dress -- the designer is called Gemy Maalouf -- the PR folks included a photo of the original design. I feel like the subtext of that inclusion was, "PS: originally, this thing had an actual top. Spread the word." CONSIDER IT SPREAD.
I have missed your coy kiss-blowing, Bai Ling, and I long to know when your long awaited book Nipples will be at a Barnes & Noble near me! Please do a book-signing at the Grove! I have questions about your past lives! Also, please turn around and assure me (or not????) that the front of this dress is not as sheer as the back of it.
Phew? (Is it weird that I actually think the skirt part of this is fantastic?)
TOO NORMAL. THIS MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. I dislike change.
WAIT. What? YES.
