Okaaaaaay. Apparently this is all the rage with the 6-10 set. You pull the string out of the flowery pony's butt, and the "skydancer" tapeworm fairy launches into the air, helicoptering madly on her way to put out someone's fucking EYE.
I cracked up Manny and disconcerted several small girls by saying the words "Tapeworm Butt Fairy" out loud.
The revoltingness of this sparkly pink boob fairy really demanded an appropriate pedestal. So I took her picture on the toilet.
Dirt and carpet lint got into the spinny mechanism within like 3 uses of the tapeworm-launcher, and it broke.
Do toymakers just not know where assholes are located? Why do they always make toys where you pull something out of some doll's ass, and then it goes back in. Ew. Next thing you know, DVDA Barbie.

These have been around since my 12-yo was about 2-ish. Typical of me, I thought the first ones were prettier, and the bases were not evocative of tapeworms--they were ust flowers or somesuch.
For the true icing on this revolting cake, you must have the Skydancers VIDEOS, in which they were prittyprittyprincesses who were "disguised" as cheerleaders.
CHEERLEADERS. Ugh.

Oh! They have those in the exam room at the kids' pedi's office. I guess if you are gonna put out an eye or vomit, that is the place to be. . .

They've, in fact, been around since at least '88, 'cause that's when I remember getting mine.
But the base was just a rounded mound with flowers decorating it. Not a tapeworm pony... I feel kind of cheated. ;-)

I will pay you to not ever let my child know about these.
BTW-- are you coming to Seattle? Wanna stay at our place? We're going to Vancouver that weekend, probably.

Back in the day, a friend of mine labeled a Barbie as "Strawberry Barbie", and he didn't mean the fruit.
