This foosball table seems to appeal to every category of child: the boys who secretly want to play with Barbie, but is still trying to look tough, the girls who are tomboys and are more into sports then dolls, the boys who realize how lovely ladies are at a young age, and the girls who really really want to play a game with their older brother. Thanks Colette for making everyone happy, except for maybe the parents who would have to shell out 10,000 euros for this little gem. Still, I’m book marking this for the day someone tries to convince me a game room in my house is as good idea because, honestly, if someone offered to buy me this table I’d never turn it down.

It’s not that I think this is a complete WTF, I just don’t really care about it one way or the other, but definitely wouldn’t wear a shirt that had bald barbies all over it.

She would probably look like this, minus the bizarre hairdo. An Anna Wintour bob perhaps? No…Barbie would scoff at such drabness. Elle magazine’s creative director Joe Zee give her the devil wears prada makeover, trading tacky Toys “R” Us collections for something more au courant–Balenciaga peacoat, Chanel bag, Hermes scarf, slim, dark denim jeans and oversized shades (worn indoors, of course). The only thing she’s missing is a pretentious scowl.

Beth Ditto has been transformed into a limited-edition doll that will promote her upcoming clothing line for the British plus-sized clothing chain Evans. “Ditto’s curves have been translated into pint-sized proportions,” says Vogue UK in its writeup of the doll. Surprisingly, that is possible!

He produces some kind of sugar, some crazy sticky sweet, that rots your teeth and makes you pray you don’t unintentionally hook up with him thinking he’s just some jersey girl you can wash out of your hair after a night of dirty dancing. It happens to the best of us.

He wants the skin complexion of Beyonce and the vaginal stretchlines of Paris Hilton. Dear lord, its too early for this shit. Watch and learn…

Henry Holland has been busy curating up a storm at Dover Street Market, dedicated to the iconic blonde-haired and blue-eyed plastic doll. Read more about the event on Dazed Digital.

“I wanted my Ken to be outside the confines of what is acceptable. I wanted him to be contemporary. So I gave him a black PVC coat that is a scaled down version of one from my menswear collection. And some skinny black trousers.”

Aiming to run away from the idea of a picturesque barbie doll, design label Wahaha Factory has released the Super Bybie Jewelry Collection. The characters featured in the pieces are designed to explore the odd characters you make encounter, whilst still featuring the joy of adolescence.

Barbie Fest 2009 continues!

In honor of the doll’s 50th birthday, Karl Lagerfeld is creating a Barbie & Ken exhibit exclusively for Colette.  From March 9-15, his photographs will be on display — and dolls available for viewing only on March 12.

I wonder how Baptiste Giabiconi felt posing for these classy — yet creepy — shots…?

February 15th, 2009 brought the first ever Barbie runway show to New York Fashion week as a tribute to the classic toy’s 50th anniversary.

The show brought fashion regulars, media reps, photogs, and reporters but it also brought Barbie lover’s from across the country. Former and current Barbie collectors milled together ranging in ages from the very young to the very young at heart.

Apparently the invitations mailed out by Barbie reps encouraged the invited to bring along their daughters and nieces to the event. While this concept is a nice sentiment perhaps they forgot the limitations of space that is so frequently and issue at Bryant Park. While it may be one thing to turn away hoards of twenty-somethings clamoring for standing room at the William Rast show, it is quite another to deny an optimistic 6 year old access to that hot pink runway. If I were one of the parents encouraged to bring along my little girl only to have the doors slammed in her face once she got their I would have been rip-roaring mad. Way to be a dream-crusher Barbie.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past fashion season, I’m sure you’re aware of Barbie sudden dominance of the world of cut & sew. The bitch is 50 and instead of fading away into menopausal bliss, she has decided to stage a comeback (my guess is she took a page from Madonna’s handbook, expect a young latin play thing any day now). 

As part of her attempt to remain relevant she’s staging a fashion show at Bryant Park this week and even has gotten hip to this Facebook all the kids are talking about. Of course, her Facebook features some weird as videos of celebrities who don’t really do much, except endorse Barbie. Something about Kevin Sorbo (the 90s Hercules) talking about torturing Barbie’s as a boy makes me concerned for what kind of message the plastic cougar is trying to get across. Maybe a S&M Barbie is right around the corner (hey, it worked for Madonna, right?).

New York won’t be the only city that sees the leggy blond on the runway. London Fashion Week designers Roksanda Ilincic and Danielle Scutt will get a visit from the model/nurse/astronaut/business woman/cowgirl.

One of the most popular cult makeup lines ever, MAC Cosmetics introduced their Barbie collection in 2007. It was very successful generating $9 million dollars in retail sales. The limited edition MAC x Barbie doll was just as fabulous as any trendy girl and came with a makeup case and a glam modern look. She retailed at $239.99. Don’t get me wrong, I am a makeup addict…I love being a makeup artist but this is one MAC item I couldn’t image buying.
