Where is East Nashville Barbie?

That’s what I was wondering… then again, would it be the gentrified part or the “rough part?” She would be either a hipster (maybe with a choice of Ken or a girlfriend?) or a crackhead, depending on which part…

Love it. Moved from Hendersonville to Murfreesboro. Some one needs to make a Murfreesboro Barbie. She can be dressed in blue and white.

You might as well join the crowd of people who enjoy perpetuating stereotypes based on one’s ZIP Code. Fortunately, some of us do not define ourselves based on our home address.

I haven’t lived in Nash-Vegas for years but these are hilarious and obviously little has changed. I just want to know where is Belle Meade Barbie? Also, shouldn’t Hendersonville and Cool Springs have a preacher Ken who leads a mega-church with a congregation of 10,000? Shouldn’t there also be a Smyrna Barbie who wears a “Obama was born in Kenya” T-shirt?

No, that would be “Lavergne Barbie”…

The Gallatin Barbie should be Gallatin Road Barbie or Madison Barbie. The Vandy Barbie is brilliant!
February 7, 2014 at 12:39 pm

Maybe the Vanderbilt Barbie should be renamed the Belmont Barbie. The actual Vandy Barbie is more of a cross between the Cool Springs and Brentwood Barbies.

East Nashville needs to be broken down to 3 or 4 Barbies. Hipster Barbie, Dickerson Rd. Barbie, Ghetto hood/crack whore Barbie and Madison Barbie who somebody else will have to define because I never could ever quite figure out what that place was about. Oh, what about Donelson and Hermitage?

I put this on & years ago and it was not meant to offend anyone I thought they were cute and it happens everywhere in the country bet you all watch at least one of the reality shows and love every minute of them so suck it up and have a laugh

Corrine. I used to live in Nashville and it’s the most zip code conscious place I’ve ever seen and I’ve lived in a lot of places. People there really do judge each other by the part of town they live in so that’s probably why you are getting so much self-righteous pushback. You’ve obviously hit a nerve and making people feel something they don’t want to feel. It’s all good because at least they are feeling something!

Still come back home to Nashville to visit family. You need a East Nashville Bardie that has a law practice and a refurbished home.

Please add “The Westhaven Barbie.” She just moved here from out of state, drives a rented Lexus, shops all day, and thumbs her nose up at everybody else.

Haha! Too funny…. made me think about what sort of “Barbies” are residing in my part of the world, (Counce, Tn.) The “Shiloh Falls”, the “Northshore”, the “Grand Harbor”, the “Counce”, and “Shiloh” barbies….

Spent most of my life in NashVegas and it is true it is very zip code conscious. Many of these are spot on. That said, there is no place on this planet MORE zip code or area code conscious than the West side of LA County, Los Angeles. If you happen to live on the wrong side of the 110 or for some even more discriminating “beach people”, the wrong side of the 405, or perhaps do NOT have the requisite 310 area code on your phone … you may as well be a leper .. I take that back …lepers are welcomed in the Peoples Republic of Santa Monica as long as you sleep under a trash cans so Monicans can feel good about their social awareness … do this for LA County Barbie.. would love to see El Segundo Barbie (home of Mattel) vs Pacific Palisades Barie, vs Redondo Beach Barbie …lol

I thought about doing this for my home here in San Francisco. So many neighbourhoods that have very distinct flavours. There would be “The Mission Barbie”, she works in a tatoo parlour, has lots of piercings and has a Pitt Bull. “Castro Barbie” she’d have a buzz cut, wear wife beaters and combat boots. and now that she is in a relationship she she is moving to Bernal Heights and her girlfriend is pregnant with their first baby. The gay guys that live upstairs donated the necessary material to make it happen. There would also be HIpster Barbie, she lives in SOMA, works at Facebook or Google. She pays &5,000.00 a month for a 600 square foot apartment and loves exotic coffees and Pabst Blue Ribbon. There would be Noe Valley Barbie who has a baby and stroller, her husband just sold his stock options when the tech company he works for went public and they are living through renovation hell updating the 1100 square foot, $2,000,000 “fixer upper” they just bought in a bidding war.
Then there’s Marina Barbie who has a super expensive apartment, is a corporate attorney and just met the cutest Ken ever at the
safeway. He has moved here from Manhattan to head up a department at one of the major banks in the financial distrct. She’s already dreaming of her wedding and buying that perfect 1920’s oversized cottage in Mill Valley. She’s picked out all her furniture for it from Restoration Hardware. Finally there is my favourite, “North Beach Barbie”. She has an amazing flat on Telegraph Hill, loves to party and has just made creative director at the Gap’s Banana Republic division. She meets all her ken’s at Alamo Square where she takes her Chocolate Lab to play with the other dogs.

If we can’t use Barbie to look at our stereotypes, life has just gotten too serious for its own good. I was looking for 5-Points Barbie, but guess she’s at the plastic surgeon’s getting her tats removed.

I’m disappointed they didn’t make a Lower Broadway Tourist Barbie:
Wardrobe consists of 1 short mini-dress or cut-off blue jean shorts & crop top and 1 pair of cowboy boots. Accessories includes 1 plastic cocktail glass, 1 beer bottle, 1 Bride-to-Be Sash.
Limited edition Broadway Tourist Barbie allows you to pull the string on the back and she screams in a ear-piercing “WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO” as she lifts her drink hand toward the ceiling.
