What you heard was most likely "rumors" mixed in with abit of facts....
Getting the whole story really takes alot of reading over alot
interviews... to get the whole feeling of what she is thinking, where she is
coming from and from what context/time period it was written.
Barbie is easily misunderstood, because she is very honest and frank and
she also has a very sharp/keen sense of humor, which can easily be
misunderstood....
She doesn't hide who she is, sometimes I'm shocked
by her honesty...
Yet she can be shy, bashful, gentle and need alot of encouragement to
boast her confidence too!
Barbie is just a
person, she is
not perfect....she is learning and growing
inside herself....just like all of us are doing...journeying thru life with all its
experiences.
She can be bossy as her sister has said, yet she (De) openly shared
this in Barbie's presence with the TV audience hearing it....Barbie didn't
stop her.

Barbie is older and more mature in many ways than Vic.
However, do not underestimate Vic's own wisdom
and maturity....in many ways
He has alot of "smarts" that Barbie hasn't experienced just because
he is a male. Vic is a man who knows when to speak up when he deems it necessary...
when out on a date, I think this is a private moment for him and if he had
a mask on, eyes turned away or downward....I don't think he was interested
in answering any questions nor having his picture taken.....
Barbie has said Vic is similar in personality to De....De and Vic both
have strengths and are more comfortable in themselves in areas Barbie
struggles....I think Barbie allows those she loves to openly express their
own opinions and to be able to disagree.... yet find protection in their love,
devotion and loyalty towards each other.
The Age thing gets less important as you get out into the adult world, 5 years
seems a large gap when you are children, but when you become adults, it
melts away....your heart and mind can transcend the age of the outside
shell we look at. If you're basing everything on outside beauty, 5 years
isn't too much, if you take care of yourself.....
With her previous bf, his personality was such that she only focused on him,
it seemed like he was more solitary and got mad easily...
She said that breaking up with him was a very hard decision, that after 4
years she realized she needed to move on....
In Vic she found someone who thinks very similiarly...
family is important...
Vic makes her very happy...because he is gentle, easy going and yet very
manly...also abit of a rascally guy which she finds delightful....
What Barbie said about "white" skin is true...her skin is very beautiful and
smooth and soft because she protects her skin from the sun. The sun ages
your skin very badly. Since I live in CA....where people love the sun,
I have seen it. In Chinese culture, white skin is the more desirable for beauty,
at least that's what I've heard.
Oh, Leehom is cute....Vic and Lee know it each other...I saw a picture
at Vic's forum where Ken, brings Lee to Vic's dressing room and they shake
hands...It was very cute and had a very guy comradery feeling.
Barbie was very sweet and supportive of Lee in those pics of the tv show,
as was Lee to her.
I think they appreciate and understand each other's struggles
with rumors!
Take care all!
Thanks for all the beautifu pics!
God Bless VicnB
and their fans
Special prayers for De & Mike
