One of the More Fitting Alter Egos


Quinn's doing an excellent job of portraying Barbie for the doll's 60th birthday. I must say, Barbie looks pretty good for 60. Then again, I hear she's mostly plastic at this point. (rimshot)

Speaking of looking nice but acting as basically a prop--just like a bridesmaid--today is also the anniversary of the episode "I Don't" in 1998. While no one in fandom was particularly invested in Cousin Erin's wedding, the episode is notable in featuring the first appearance of fan favorite Aunt Amy. Whatever you do, don't change the radio station in her car!
