Betsie

It's a semi-true story, believe it or not. I made up a few things, and there's some I forgot.

About Me

Barbie: At 32, I'm the old one of the Betsie/Barbie duo, though it's arguable which of us is cooler. LOL! I appreciate good writing, whether in songs or a good book, when the writer reaches out and grabs you, makes you laugh or cry, pisses you off or enlightens your day.
Does Barbie's Mom have something to tell her? Where are all the caucasian look-alikes? Hmm...

Betsie: Is it true what they say about redheads? Well, I am fun-loving and passionate; but also very driven and definitely not afraid to voice my opinion. I love to read, love good music, love politics, and am loyal to some very good television shows, but most of all I love to laugh.

Now we know why Brett always says "You had me at Hello."
