I like Barbie Jennie Garth. I always have. She was my favorite character on 90210, and I rooted for her during her stint on Dancing With The Stars.
This picture of her with her family screams Barbie Dream House. I mean really, I don't know any man who would wear that outfit. I mean look at his face. He looks about as thrilled as Martha Stewart in a jail cell full of raging lesbians. Oh wait.
Even her oldest daughter looks like she'd rather be texting her BFF and putting on scads of makeup. The little one wouldn't even wear those asinine shoes for the photoshoot. Good call, kid. They look stupid on everyone and anyone who says different ought to be locked up.
Anyway, Jennie and her Stepford Family were featured in Redbook and here's what her and husband Ken Peter had to say:
On keeping their romance alive after 13 years:
PETER:
"Sometimes we're in a store together and I'll lose Jennie for a second,
and then I'll see her out of the corner of my eye and she's just the
most beautiful woman to me. And I say to myself, 'Oh, that's my wife,
I'm so lucky.' Those moments just hit me — and they hit me often."
On finding alone time with three children:
JENNIE:
"Probably the hardest thing is finding time to be together just as a
couple. I can usually carve out an hour a day to exercise and shower,
but the time I get just with Peter is at the end of the day when we're
both exhausted. In fact, we just decided to leave my mom with the kids
for a weekend and spend more quality time together, where we won't be
interrupted or distracted."
PETER: "There are times when Jennie
and I are driving to the supermarket and it almost seems like a date
'cause it's just the two of us for a change."
On the "perfect" family moments:
PETER:
"The other night we were having dinner, and our 5-year-old, Lola,
wasn't eating her food. I said, 'Lola, one way or another, you're going
to eat that food,' and she looks up at me and says, 'Well, Daddy, I
don't like it this way. What's the other way?' And she wasn't being a
smart aleck about it! That stuff just melts my heart."
"It's
those wild, crazy, seemingly out-of-control moments that make the
stories that you laugh about later. When there's complete havoc taking
place, Jennie and I look at each other and it's just the two of us for
a second."
