What do KJS and Barbie have in common?

A woman Episcopal priest (who happens to have dressmaking skills) gave another woman Episcopal priest a homemade gift. The gift was (what else?) an Episcopal Priest Barbie.
The doll has a complete set of vestments for every Church season and function. She has thousands of fans on Facebook. Her church is St. Barbara's-by-the-Sea in Malibu. I find it funny that Rev. Barbie "went" to the Church Divinity School of the Pacific- the same seminary as KJS went to. Boy, that school turns out some fine priests!
While many are having fun with this story, some are working it into Church matters and criticism. KJS gets tied into the Barbie story here.
You can  see more of Rev. Barbie's wardrobe here.
As far as I know, Rev. Barbie and  fellow alumnus KJS haven't met yet. Maybe at the next General Convention?
Maybe she'll show up looking like this?
