With the popularity of the new Barbie movie, we thought it would be cool to imagine what it would look like if Barbie and Ken were from Louisiana instead of sunny California! It's true, in the great state of Louisiana, we march to the beat of a different drummer. So what would it look like if Mattel's Barbie and Ken were from da boot?

As Bossier Parish trash, I've always said the difference between us and folks from Caddo Parish is that we'll always ask for our Tupperware back... I'm pretty sure that Barbie would, too...

Let's face it, stereotypes, while sometimes hurtful, often have some truth to them... That's why I think I find this so dang funny!

Sure, sometimes having a good cooler, like a Yeti, can seem more important than making sure you have car insurance, but having a Yeti is an INVESTMENT! Plus, you'll use it when you're hunting, fishing, hanging out, at fish fries, crawfish boils, at the ball field, at Mardi Gras parade, etc... Oh yeah, it also keeps your beer cold.

Of course, we also like our camo in Louisiana, too. After all, we do live in the 'Sportsman's Paradise' and we have to make sure we can sneak up on Bambi.

You can't deny that mullet, though... I still see them to this day. Just look around next Saturday morning when you stop for gas at any convenience store off of I-20... I guarantee you'll see at least three as they head out to the lake or the camp with their boat or ATV in tow! However, you can't make fun of Tony Chachere's or mud boots. Those are essentials!

Either way, I think the folks from Cajun Giggles did a good job with this if they're the ones who actually photoshopped this masterpiece. What do you think? What would you add/change or do you think they're good the way they are? Mais yeah!
