    Based on my own experience with owning a Barbie--to look like my Barbie, I would need to chop of all my hair, dye it orange with food dye, cover my face with blue magic marker "make up" and run around in a tube top with no pants.

    Is it weird that I totally understand where Diane is coming from? Well, maybe not the gay husband part, but the living apart from your SO part. My boy and I are maddly in love, but live most of the year in different countries by choice. I work here, he works there, we share a house in third country that's somewhere in the middle. We don't think our relationship or lifestyle is strange, but other people are really bothered by it.

    Barry and DVF have been best friends for decades. He doesn't have any children of his own and has a large fortune. He's very close to her children. I can see why they got married.


    Her relationship sounds great, if I could find a straight Barry Diller. I need space too.

    @nyc-caribbean-ragazza: If you're not going to live together or have sex, why not just be really awesome friends. To me, this kinda buys into the idea that the only relationship that counts between a man and a woman is marriage.

    @LaComtesse: NYC-Caribbean-Ragazza hits it on the head. Barry and Diane they met when they were in their 20s -- he's helped her with her business, adores her kids and grandkids, and got to the point where he wanted to be part of a family.


    She wasn't married or involved, she loved him, and they decided to make it legal. I think that's a huge commitment for two people of such financial means who presumably did not marry solely for romantic reasons. I don't think it's a commentary on anyone else's relationship, just theirs.

    Also, a talking palette? AAAH! If it's anything like the bossy babysitters who used to try to teach me how to put makeup on, keep it away from me.


    "Now apply the eye liner along the curve of your upper lid - no, not like that you're - you look like a raccoon whore. Seriously, give me that and just let me do it. You're going to poke your eye out."

    @Mkp-hearts-NYC: Those Stila palettes are evil. First, you can't pause them while you apply the stuff, so you either have to haul ass putting on makeup (never a good plan), or listen to it over and over again. Secondly, I can't help but imagine the Speak'n'Spell voice coming out of it one day and scaring the shit outta me.

    While I don't like the idea of having/using/wearing anything Barbie, I am betting the Stila makeup is going to be amazing. I am already sensing that the black eyeline red lipstick palette of 4 colors is going to be something I will buy to tote around on nights out.

    @LaComtesse: I dunno, not necessarily. I co-habited before and believe me, I really don't want to do it again. My space is precious. And the DVF way, I'd still get to have exciting dates and booty calls with my significant other. (Provided he's not actually gay of course.)

    @Anointynointy: It's the gay thing that throws me. So you're not living together, you're not romantically in love, you're not making booty calls... this sounds like my best friend and I. (We have a fantastic, wouldn't trade it for the world friendship--I would never think to marry her.) I said in a later post, it just makes me feel like they are playing into the stereotype that the only meaningful and important emotional connection a man and a woman can have is a legal marriage.

    @stacyinbean: Yes it is - a mariage blanc protects those from religious persection - a Jew marrying a Gentile.


    A lavender marriage sounds like neither has BO, which is a good thing. Like a marriage of two very lovely smelling individuals.

    There are apparently lots and lots of them in Hollywood. Supposedly involving huge, huge stars that you would never suspect (not the obvious ones.)

    While I don't think that Barbie makeup is a great idea, it's much better than the Barbie earrings plan that the same company pitched last month.


    Wearing Barbie-like earrings involves stabbing onself with 6 inch needles through the chin and neck.

    @Lazy Line Painter Jane: I would hazard that it's about the same as in any other high-profile industry: you get social standing and cash benefits (plus, once upon a time, insulation from the rumor mill--see Rock Hudson) from a sympathetic friend. At least, that's the idealized way it's supposed to work. (See: Claude Montana, from yesterday's excellent post.)
