  • Barbi Twins trade naughty poses for animal rescue

    bbtwin500

    Shane and Sia Barbi – aka the Barbi Twins - are long-haired renegades who do things their own way, kind of like a certain country music legend (stay with us here).

    Their Saturday morning cartoon was banned for being too sexy. Their documentary “Your Mommy Kills Animals” was deemed “too controversial.” Their MTV special was canceled for being inappropriate.

    SLIDESHOW: The Barbi Twins in the poses that made them (kind of) famous.

    Think about that last one for a second.

    They’re kind of like… the Willie Nelson of pin-up girls!

    Maybe that’s why Willie Nelson’s daughter Amy interviewed them – and sent us the wacky transcript!

    Nelson – who calls herself the “third Barbi” – met the gals while helping animals injured and orphaned by the California fires. “Like myself, they retired from Hollywood to become full time animal activists,” Nelson said.

    Later this year, the Barbi Twins, the Willie Nelson family, Bo Derek, and other celebrities will go to Washington DC to lobby for the federal bill to ban horse slaughter and preserve the few wild horses remaining in America. Fox411 will be keeping tabs on their progress.

    In the meantime, without further adieu, meet Amy, Shane and Sia.

    Shane Barbi: Amy, can you just ask rhetorical questions? I already have the answers.

    Amy Nelson: OK you guys, what type of impact do you think you two left with your fans?

    Sia Barbi: Wait…we have fans?

    Shane Barbi: I think we were good role models for the recession because we started the cheap look. That made us popular gag gifts.

    Amy Nelson: Do you two compete or complete each other?

    Shane Barbi: We only complete each other sentences, it’s pretty annoying.

    Amy Nelson: Tell me about the controversy over your career?

    Sia Barbi: Wait, we have a career?

    Shane Barbi: Can you say anything without sarcasm Sia?

    Sia Barbi: Just explain why we are so weird, and get on with it.

    Shane Barbi: All right, well we started out just wanting to document ourselves on print before we blimped out to 300 lbs like the Nutty Professor and then our bulimia–

    Sia Barbi: My ears are melting, am I at Guantanamo Bay?….. this is TORTURE!!!!! Get to the point.

    Shane Barbi: Well basically we were infamous, mostly because we can’t act, sing or dance. In the beginning I remember saying, “mom, dad, there’s good news and bad news….the good news, I guess, is that we are pretty famous, but the bad news is, we are famous for nothing!”

    Sia Barbi: Most people thought we were bimbos, but I think we gave bimbos a bad name. Wait, what was the question?

    Amy Nelson: What are the good and bad parts of being internationally famous models?

    Shane Barbi: The good part is we put our car-accident-circus-freak 7 and-a-half minutes of fame towards animal causes. And the bad part is we are the poster child for puking.

    Sia Barbi: More like we were a clone experiment gone wrong.

    Amy Nelson: What advice can you give to people that want to get into Hollywood?

    Shane Barbi: Hef told us in order to be successful, you have to be the first of your kind, an original.

    Sia Barbi: How can you be original when you are a twin, genius?

    Shane Barbi: I’m the first born, hence, original. Sorry I had to spell it out to you like this.

    Sia Barbi: Seriously, my advice is that you have to be careful. I won’t forget when I was being followed by a creep who use to hide in the bushes. Sadly, it turned out to be my sister, Shane.

    Shane Barbi: You co-dependent idiot, that was you in the bushes, not me!

    Sia Barbi: Ooops, who am I?

    Shane Barbi: Do you always have to get the last word in?

    Sia Barbi: No.
