New arrivals!
So although this post might seem a tad pointless, as an avid Barbie lover I was pretty excited to hear the news of two new Barbie coming out this year. And many of you wouldn’t know this but along with my love of Barbie, I am also a huge fan of Pirates of the Caribbean movies. So to find that Mattel has created ‘The Pirate’ doll, my day was truly brightened (as pathetic as that may be). The doll, as BarbieCollector.com says, “captures the adventurous essence [of the famous swashbuckler of the sea] in both an edgy and glamorous way.” Sharon Zuckerman designed the outfit which consists of a long brocade coat, blue velvet breeches, lacy vest, and a white ruffled blouse. She also has a matching hat, boots, bandanna, and sword to bring the entire look together. “With pirates being so popular right now, we wanted to create a pirate look for Barbie that was a little daring while still being glamorous,” Sharon told BarbieCollector.com in a recent interview. Pirate themed Barbies will not be the only addition to Mattel’s line this year, but they will also be adding the ‘Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ Barbies as well. With the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders becoming more than ever popular it was only necessary for Mattel to recognize them by creating a Barbie in their honor. “And because both entities embrace and celebrate multiculturalism, Barbie Collector has created not one, not two, but three fabulous dolls –a stunning blonde Caucasian, a gorgeous brunette Latina, and a breathtaking African America.” The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Barbies mark the Barbie of the month for December and have just arrived in time for the holidays, and everyone seems to be as excited for the release as Mattel and the Texas cheerleaders are. And as for me, I guess I might be a little old to say…but I might just be expanding my Christmas list after seeing these new arrivals…for a collection of course. : )
