Sashay Barbie!

Speaking of Fashion Week (Feb. 13th-20th) Barbie is turning 50 and is getting her own runway show!
"For her 50th birthday, Barbie creators decided to stage a full-scale Barbie fashion show During New York Fashion Week in February with 50 designers creating life-size outfits inspired by the doll. Although the names of the designers have yet to be announced, Christian Louboutin has confirmed that he will be designing pumps in Barbie's favorite shade of pink to be worn with each of his outfits.

In addition, Bloomingdale's will dress up the windows of its New York flagship store during fashion week with Barbie dolls.

I guess there is one trend we can already sense in the upcoming fashion week - it will be pink with everything. Blonds with perfect bodies will continue to rule, as always."

Why cant I be 5'8"?? Or even 5'7"?? I would be allll over this

Also, I think it's funny that Barbie originated from a 1959 cartoon in German gentleman's magazine (Bild-Zeitung) named "Lilli." She was a symbol of sex and pornography for the men of Germany. And she became an icon for little girls all over the world!

I was actually a Barbie model for a nationwide promotion of the new "Diamond Castle Barbie." Little girls were going crazy. It's nice to know that a crucial aspect of every girl's childhood has transcended time.
