Chic Electrique

I received the new Barbie Collector catalog the other day – it’s for the adult collector (it says so inside) – and was expecting to see a cool new Barbie Louboutin doll specially designed for the holiday season, not that I was going to buy one. I just love shoes and am curious (my journalistic trait).

Instead, they have Barbie Christmas tree ornaments. Yup, you can hang Barbie, Ken and even a tree decorated with shoes (not Louboutins). The thing is, they don’t look cute but creepy (except the shoe tree). Imagine hanging dolls on your tree – I totally imagine this in a Twilight Zone episode. Visions of Talky Tina come to mind…

Guys, if you want to get Barbie, don’t follow Ken’s little dating tips. I’m guessing he’s a bit of a player – especially now that he’s starring in Toy Story 3 - and spends a lot more time admiring himself in front of his mirror than actually getting to know women. But the videos are cute and original. I hope Pixar is preparing some Barbie videos as well!

Has Barbie decorated his house, chosen his car and picked out his clothes?
