Barbie


Finally a Barbie I can relate to. At long last, here are some NEW Barbie dolls to coincide with her and OUR aging gracefully. These are a bit more realistic...

REALISTIC BARBIE

1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too!), neck chain, and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.

2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead. Comes with handheld fan and tiny tissues.

3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow. Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.

4. Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new,roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, two-MuMus with tummy-support panels are included.

5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.

6. No-More-Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow's-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.

7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Babs and Ken, Jr. Comes with minivan in robin-egg blue or white and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.

8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change, and Alonzo (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They're hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Includes a real tape of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do."

9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for$ 199.99. Comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, and Ken's boat.

10. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now she does Twelve Steps instead of dance steps. Clean and sober, she's going to meetings religiously. Comes with a little copy of The Big Book and a six-pack of Diet Coke.

11. Post-Menopausal Barbie. This Barbie wets her pants when she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, the book "Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self" is included.


The World's Most-Famous Beach Blonde Is Back... And She's Totally Malibu!  Celebrating 30-Years as a Cultural Phenomenon, Malibu Barbie®

Doll Returns With a Collector Edition Reproduction of the 1971 Original


EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (May 16, 2002)

Totally groovy! Totally retro!

And, totally Malibu! This year, the best of the seventies' style resurfaces as Malibu Barbie® returns to the beach for another day in the sun! A playtime favorite and cultural phenomenon for more than 30 years, this reproduction of Malibu Barbie will rekindle sunny memories for the more than 18 million women whose earliest Barbie® doll experience was with this quintessential California beach girl.

Because nothing can replace the sun-kissed skin, pale blue one-piece swimsuit and long, surfboard-straight blonde locks of the original Malibu Barbie, Mattel has replicated the 1971 original to the last detail with this special collector edition. However, this modern- makeover Malibu girl is skin care savvy in 2002 and comes with her
own "faux" sunscreen bottle.

"Malibu Barbie was one of the most popular Barbie dolls ever created," said Anne Parducci, senior vice president worldwide marketing, Mattel's Girls Division and Barbie. "Her fame far surpassed playtime, transforming Malibu Barbie into an image that defined the 1970s California look and style. The re-creation of this nostalgic collector doll will allow the more than 67 million women and girls who have played with Barbie doll since her inception, to re-experience this all-time favorite."

Sporting a re-creation of the original blue one-piece bathing suit and yellow towel, Malibu Barbie will bring back beach lovin' memories for women of all ages when displayed in her cool retro package.

Reminiscent of the 1971 original, Barbie doll's long, beach-blonde locks are parted to the side in the totally Malibu do. Because she loves to soak up the warm California rays, this modern-day, fun-in- the-sun collectible girl is hip when it comes to sun care - with 70s styled shades and a "faux" sunscreen bottle.

Malibu Barbie doll will be available in May at retailers nationwide
for a suggested retail price of $19.95.
