Barbie dolls are available in blonde. If you want another shade you can purchase a friend of hers, the brunette Princess Laura, redheaded Midge or raven haired Shani. Little sister Skipper once dabbled in strawberry blonde.

If it’s a bald Barbie you’re after however, you’re going to have to do a little hairdressing of your own.

Or you can join a page on Facebook, headed 'Beautiful and Bald Barbie! Let's see if we can get it made.' What it lacks in catchy title it makes up for in good intentions.

“We would like to see a Beautiful and Bald Barbie made to help young girls who suffer from hair loss due to cancer treatments, Alopecia or Trichotillomania.”

Last night the Golden Globes were away and awards host Ricky Gervais was more or less polite. There were no big surprises, everyone won what they were expected to win and no one wore anything peculiar. In fact everything went down as it always goes down for the actress Michelle Williams.

As the years go by Williams is becoming more recognised as a talented performer then as Jen Lindley. Williams is perhaps the surprise breakout star from the Dawson’s Creek cast (my money was firmly on Pacey) with what is fast becoming a very credible career.

However, according to the media; career-schmeer, isn’t that the mother of the dead actor Heath Ledger’s child? 

Slimming. Apparently there’s more to it than some nutritious shakes, a proper meal in the evening and then standing around grinning in a pair of trousers a family of 4 could fit into.

No, after this process it is a case of lather, rinse, repeat. According to research by UCLA 95% of diets fail and it’s not just Kerry Katona and Claire Richards who are profiting from so-called yo-you dieting.  Campaign group Endangered Bodies is citing this research as evidence that diet companies rely on diet failure for profit. 

This is a special Friday 5 (they’re all special, aren’t they) because it falls on Friday the 13th. Oh yeah, trigger warning for all those suffering from friggatriskaidekaphobia. 

We hope you all make it through today without black cats crossing your path. Of course, some people like cats and consider such an encounter as lucky. I think we are all agreed it is hard to feel lucky when a bird poops on you.

One person has a song listing all the things we can unite in considering unlucky. The unlucky thing, as every GCSE English student knows, is that Ms. Morissette was not singing about life’s little ironies so much as life’s little coincidences, or unlucky events in her best known song, Ironic. 

I don’t like Queen, I once lived in a hostel in Wellington that ended every night at the bar with a sing-along to a Queen song I can’t even bring myself to recall specifically. You will, therefore, perhaps understand why I don’t enjoy agreeing with Ben Elton. Somehow not even series 2-4 of Blackadder can cancel out We Will Rock You, but the Channel 4 documentary Laughing at the 80s might.

The Laughing at the… series document trends and developments in comedy during the 80s, 90s and 00s. Comedians Ben Elton, Jennifer Saunders and Catherine Tate present the shows respectively, discussing the decade in which they kick started their comedy careers.  I don’t know why, but the documentaries have been released in the order of 90s, 00s and 80s. 

All this time I thought the the lady Lynx was Impulse body spray. Turns out I was wrong, and Axe (as it is called outside the UK) is releasing a female fragrance called Anarchy. Because that is what it will be like. Once women and girls start using Axe body spray.

Ladies, you might as well start chowing down on Yorkies and guzzling Dr Pepper because the worst has happened and everything’s now for girls. Anarchy in the UK! Or the axilla.

In fact Anarchy will only be released as a limited edition scent and only, it seems, in the US. So technically it is Unilever controlled anarchy in the USA for a short time period. 

We are all entitled to our own little epiphanies. These can be small in impact and we can sort of continue as normal, acknowledge their logic without changing a thing. Often epiphany seems rather a grand term to award the tiny realisation, but as the personal is political, what seems small can be universal. This is why it’s often the small epiphanies that go on to dog us, because eventually it could be big.

I am trying to prepare you. I am trying to excuse the small thing I am about to share then analyse. I want to make it clear the item I had a miniscule epiphany, an ‘oh’ moment about is not something I tend to think about.Reader, I am about to discuss bags. 

Considering I have no children and no friends and family with young children I am always interested when a children’s programme or book hits the headlines for being a bad influence. This is probably due to two reasons; as a girl I was a big fan of books about badly behaved (or rather, misunderstood) children and now I’m curious because well, as a product aimed at children…how amoral can the protagonists be?

Harry Potter threw the next generation into the gaping jaws of the occult, Tinky-Winky made you all gay and Rastamouse has recently been conditioning children for a life of addiction. Today Peppa Pig is in the firing line. Up until today I knew this much about Peppa Pig; she is a pig. However it turns out Peppa Pig is a bad influence and children have been turning into little heckraisers left right and centre thanks to this swine. 

It’s the first Friday 5 of the New Year! Perhaps, a week into 2012 you have already given up on any new year’s resolutions you made. If not, congratulations! If so…well, start again, or we at Squeamish Bikini declare it is not too late to pick new ones. Here are our 5 suggestions, they don't include dieting, sport or denial and they’re all self-improving, we promise.
