I've made it pretty clear I'm not a fan of some of Mattel's sell-out choices that pair Barbie with whatever flash-in-the-pan celebrity is hot at the moment. So I'm pretty happy these particular dolls are in the works.
Hello from spain, i do not agree that the sale Mattel Barbies take the image of the Kardashian sisters. I prefer that Barbie represents talented people. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteThe K- sisters don't annoy me. I don't understand the interest in them, or think that they match the Barbie brand. With no bias or prejudice, I would consider them ... sleazy and vulgar, but I suppose that someone has to be. Shrug.
ReplyDeleteI think a part of me would have died inside if I had to see one or more Kardashians reproduced as Barbies. I mean, that would really be scraping the bottom of the barrel. Let's hope that Mattel never go there. Ever!
