Ethnic Barbie

This is old news for some, but I only recently caught a whiff of it in a KoreAm magazine that... well, we have an eclectic collection of bathroom literature.

Back in December, Britney Spears started an Asian concert tour, so of course there were press conferences to show off. At one, she appeared wearing a traditional Korean hanbok.

I'm torn.

  1. I really don't give a damn about Britney. Most of the time she comes across as desperately seeking attention. I suppose others may have stronger words for it.
  2. My first impression of seeing her in a hanbok was "Wow, she actually looks good in clothes."
  3. Somewhere later on, the image became somewhat unnerving, like I was looking at a Barbie doll at the FAO Schwarz from that series they did with ethnic costumes.
Go figure.

Still, Britney + clothes = good. Forget the lipsmacking with old pop icons; just put on some clothes.

Never thought I'd hear myself say that.
