Barbie Doll

ADD AN “OSCAR WINNER” BARBIE DOLL TO YOUR COLLECTION

She’s been an astronaut, a judge and has done practically everything else but will Barbie now be an Oscar winner? Odds are good since Barbie got 9 nominations for Golden Globes. According to an insider, if Margot Robbie wins an Oscar for playing the iconic doll or the movie happens to win one for best movie or best screenplay, plans are already underway with Mattel to launch a very limited edition “Oscar winner” Barbie. The proceeds will be donated to the Academy’s Film Museum. Limited edition Barbies are very collectible and can sell for a small fortune, so this will be a win-win situation in terms of marketing and for the film museum.

Barbi Doll Barbie Elvis Harley Davidson James Dean Star Trek

MORE BARBIES THAN WE EVER IMAGINED

There’s an estate sale happening in Los Angeles this weekend and we saw lots of advance photos of the stuff on sale- this was a Barbie doll collector! We had NO idea there were SO many Barbies of SO many kinds produced over the years! Some are even copies of dead movie stars. How about Barbie Loves Elvis? Or James Dean in his red jacket? Little did we know there was a Harley-Davidson Barbie doll! And how about Barbie and Ken dressed for a Star Trek mission! The collection also has Barbie through the years- above you can see Barbie in the Fabulous Forties and she has rolled hair and shoulder pads. We love them ALL! And none of these dolls have ever been played with- that’s almost a shame…

Barbie Barbie Doll Ken Ken Doll Margot Robbie Ryan Gosling

IS RYAN GOSLING TOO OLD TO PLAY KEN?

Warner Bros and Mattel films have finally put all the pieces together to film their long-awaited Barbie movie. Margot Robbie, 31, is an appropriate choice to star as Barbie in the live-action film. But what about Ryan Gosling as Ken? In this photo, Ryan looks more like a popular bartender at The Abbey than a beach boy from the 1960’s. In spite of his body wax, he has that currently trendy five o’clock shadow. And, of course, Ryan IS 41 years old! Shouldn’t Ken be younger? Harry Styles would be cute in the part, but he has too much personality. Justin Bieber has all the right elements, but too many tattoos… Patrick Schwarzenegger?

Barbie Doll Julianne Hough Measeurements

TIME FOR A BARBIE DOLL MAKEOVER

Ever wonder what Barbie would like like if she had the body proportions of a normal person? Not half as bad as you think! An artist in the UK, Nickolay Lamm decided to do girls a favor and recreate Barbie with the same measurements as a typical 19 year old girl. The original doll, if human size, would measure 36-18-33. The recreation has average measurements of 32-31-33. And the normal version with the shorter neck somewhat resembles Ryan Seacrest’s exgirlfriend Julianne Hough! Not bad. Perhaps Mattel will take note!
