néger barbie 01 Happy Birthday Black Barbie!

This year makes the 30th birthday of the African American Barbie! Happy birthday! I remember I had an ice skater one back when I was a kid. Her name was Debbie, and later when I was in my I-want-to-be-a-hairdresser phase, I turned her into a punk. She was way cooler than any Barbie I’ve ever had. Here’s to you, Debbie!:)

Vogue Italy put together a great issue dedicated to Barbie. Check out some images after the jump.

lady gaga veik barbie dolls 5 Lady Gaga Barbie Dolls!

We all love/loved Barbies at one point in our lives or another. Sure we spent hours playing with her even if her wardrobe wasn’t the best. I wish Veik, a 29-year-old doll “player” from Beijing, would have been around back then. He put together a few DIY outfits styled after some of Lady Gaga’s most memorable outfits. They are very impressive and detailed with everything from Alexander McQueen’s lobster claw shoes to everything else. These might actually get me interested in Barbies again.

barbie09 Louboutin Loves Barbie

For Barbie’s 50th birthday, she received the best gift any woman could ever imagine (almost): a pair of Louboutins:) Mattel has teamed up with the illustrious shoe designer. The project includes the Barbie-pink, red-soled Louboutin shoes that premiered in Barbie’s birthday runway show during New York Fashion Week in February, a Barbie doll and accessories collection customized by the designer and a diary filled with images of Louboutin and Barbie as they explore the cobbler’s favorite things. The designer created three Barbie dolls: a jewel thief-themed Barbie, which will release in December, a safari-themed Barbie for February, and a Barbie that goes to the Cannes Film Festival for May.

The $150 dolls will be sold through BarbieCollector.com and at Net-a-porter.com. Both sites also will offer a Christian Louboutin Barbie shoe collection of 12 pairs for $40 a set. The diary, which comes with the jewel thief Barbie and is also sold separately for $40, is titled “My Year in Paris With Christian Louboutin.” Launching in December, it features photos of the doll shopping with Louboutin in his boutique, on a journey down the Nile, performing at the Moulin Rouge and in a cafe with a male doll that is decidedly not Ken.

barbie heidi klum 1 main Heidi Klum Becomes a Barbie Doll

So we all know that Barbie is celebrating her 50th birthday this year, which has so far been full of great projects and events commemorating her half-century run. One of the latest news is that they’ve gone and made a Barbie doll in the form of Heidi Klum, which will hit stores in September. The doll is part of the Blonde Ambition collection, which consists of other Barbies in the likeness of such iconic names as Marilyn Monroe and Goldie Hawn, and aims to pay tribute to famous blondes. I used to be a HUGE Barbie fan, and for some reason, I think I could still play around with these on a quiet afternoon:)
