As a kid I was never that into playing with Barbie dolls. I think I was kind of bummed when my sister gave my Barbie a haircut that left her looking like someone put a bowl on her head. But all these years later Poppy is renewing my interest in the art form of playing "Barbie" as she has inherited a few hand-me-down dolls from friends.
The real turning point came the other night when I pulled the new Barbie Collectors catalog out of our mail box (not sure how we got on that list!) and opened it to find what might be the coolest Barbie EVER.
The Jonathan Adler designed Barbie.
This is one hip Barbie in her mod tunic with bangle bracelet and white oversized shades. Damn, I want to be this Barbie (not really, but you know what I mean!). And, she comes with some seriously fab accessories by Joanthan Adler including a groovy side table, mirror, lacquer tray, lamp and vases. I'd put that table in my house if it were bigger, right next to our Jonathan Adler coffee table!
Anyway, this Barbie will definitely be going on our holiday list though I am not sure if it will be for Poppy or me?!
Ooh, how lovely. Maybe Barbie will have my approval after all.
