Barbie?

utopiacowboy says on Jul 5, 2005, 22:39:

You can be flattered. My wife was regularly referred to as Barbie even though she's old enough to be your mother. Damm, you could have been Barbie and Barbie's mother, Dona Barbie. My wife's advice is never acknowledge that you've even heard what those guys are saying. You can laugh about it later but keep a straight face and keep on walking.

Kent Hey, funny that you have questions about that because I was wondering why people called me Kent. I figured that since my girl looked like a bimbo, fake, and plastic that they thought of me as Kent.

DUH!!! they asked u ur shoe size because u know that saying "the bigger the foot" which by the way is not true at all. and if a girl in colombia calls u a barbie then they r probably being mean but if a guy calls u a barbie then it's a compliment.

Then we can judge if you can be insulted or flattered.

caslug says on Jul 6, 2005, 15:12:

guys, she' s has posted fotos of her.. in another thread..

tomtom33 says on Jul 6, 2005, 16:58:

Unfortunately that thread was deleted as was some delightful commentary on the exchange rate COP vs. USD.

Sylvie says on Jul 6, 2005, 18:52:

hmmm I've decided to take it as a compliment. I suppose they called me barbie because I'm tall and blonde with a big white smile. I'm not slim though... :-(

I've posted pictures of myself in another thread that I no longer see. Maybe posting pictures is against the rules? :-/

caslug says on Jul 6, 2005, 19:28:

Posting fotos isnt against rules.. There's a thread at the top of page listing all the fotos from poster.. I suspect that your thread got delete because you and UC were talking about flirting, eating cookies, running over people, AND cities OTHER than COL(montreal).

Sylvie, is that a real story or invented. Well, it doesnt sound real. CA Montañas de Colombia

Sylvie says on Jul 6, 2005, 19:47:

Condorlisa Arroz Why don't you believe it? I suppose UC's wife and others who have witnessed this are lying to? I just said that on occassions some men called me babrie. I don't speak spanish so I don't know what context they were using it in. I find that cat calls while walking in Colombia occur at almost every 10 minutes...Unlike North America where it only happens when you pass a construction site.

Happened a majority of the time in Cartagena and Cali but never in Bogota.

In any case, you don't have to believe it, I won't be devastated if you don't. But just remember that just because you haven't witnessed it doesn't mean that it never happens. :-)

utopiacowboy says on Jul 6, 2005, 21:44:

A perfect example. Anyone who knows squat about Colombia would think your story was true even if it was made up. Everything you describe in the little anecdote is classic Colombia. Then somebody (un sabelotodo) comes along questioning your veracity. I think the closest 98% of the people on this site have come to Colombia is hearing Shakira on the radio. En ingles.

jajaj Elbige. pero no todos los muñecos son bonitos eh?
I have a friend in Colombia blonde, blue eyes, they call her Barbie too but because of the blonde blue eye thing and a bit tall. I think that happens to us latinas when we're abroad too, they used to call me or my sister Pocahontas just because of our long straigh, black hair, and I think we not the only ones being called like that. I remember going to a party with my husband and they said here arrive Pocahontas with john Smith.

Jet Black From the photo I have, her hair is long, straight and black. The yellow door frame in the back ground does not help the photo much but the subject makes up for it.

is a compliment to be called barbie in colombia

The clothes are very nice at Studio F a women needs to be very thin and shapely. Don't know about faride. Hummmmm,, WoW there is a Farida that made womens LEATHER clothes,,, interesting.
