Special Edition Barbie: KC Area

I just got an e-mail pictures of Barbie's representing various areas around Kansas City. Here's mine:

The caption reads:
Overland Park Barbie: Yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, American Express card and country club membership. Also available for this set are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any of them.
I wish.

I my neighborhood, it's more like this:

Leawood Barbie: Modern Day Homemaker Barbie is available with Ford WindStar Minivan and matching gym outfit. Gets lost easily and has no full-time occupation. Traffic jamming cell phone sold separately.
Oddly enough, we tried to move to Leawood, but couldn't quite afford it. Now I find out I'm supposed to have a Hummer. Well, I must admit, when I drive around in my wee Jetta here in OP, I'm in danger of becoming road kill beneath the wheels of a full-size something or other.
