Barbie embraces her inner sexpot

Decked out in red boots, skimpy denim shorts and a fringed leather vest, and leaning against a split-rail fence with a lariat in hand, "Way Out West" Barbie looks as if she just sashayed out of a vintage auto-parts calendar.

And that, pardner, appears to be just what toy manufacturer Mattel Inc. had in mind in gussying up this latest incarnation of its iconic plastic doll.

"She looks like a tramp!" says cultural critic M.G. Lord, author of a Barbie history. "I'm also thinking that after a long day in the chaparral, her legs are going to be all scratched up."

See, she broke up with Ken and she's gone hog-wild. Give her a year or so; she'll settle down.
