looks not being central to personal identity. Barbie has always been
beautiful, but she's also been a doctor, an astronaut, a teacher, and
countless others. She's a success, and encourages others to be a
success. Was I a supermodel-like child? Nope-chubby brunette. But
I loved Barbie and all that she represented. I'm a successful woman,
and refuse to let anyone tell me what I can and cannot do.
Beth, it sounds like you still have some big girl bitterness in spite
of your recent weight loss. I love my curves, keep your flax and your
shallow sales pitch.

If not a "special", this one looks like she's had "plastic" surgery, as well as having her hair and make-up re-done. Her arm was bent (to show off the ring, no doubt) and her hair "permed", probably by dipping them in boiling water, then making adjustments while they were still hot and pliable; cooling will "set" the new position/curls. Altered Barbies have their original make-up taken off with something like a Dremel with a light sanding disc, and then are repainted with acrylics (usually). They are no longer "toys" at that point, though, because the paint isn't as durable as the original plastic make-up.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 10:26PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/Jun 23rd 2009 1:06AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/What are you smoking?]]>Jun 22nd 2009 10:07PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/Jun 22nd 2009 10:21PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/]]>Jun 22nd 2009 11:50PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/Jun 22nd 2009 10:20PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/

This Barbie didn't have her makeup dremilled off, though it's a good call. I would have thought so too, But the entire 'Head' & 'Torso' particularly the definition near the neck & collar bone seem to be a trifle different. So I think it's an entirely different mold-probably made specifically for the "Bulgari Barbie" They either co-own the rights to that mold-and will make future Barbie's for different causes, or the mold was a one time thing and will be broken.

As for Matel supporting a Children's Cause through Barbie in partnership with Bulgari, it makes a LOT of sense. I just don't understand why they didn't come out with a watch for Ken..Bulgari 'is' known for thier watches after all. And Ken should be as sophisticated as his mammacita.

Though I do agree, they should have offered the other Hair & Eye Colours/Skin tones, it's an International Charity Event, it wouldn't have hurt to run a few of each.
Love, grace & peace, Gunner]]>Jun 23rd 2009 12:05AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/Jun 23rd 2009 12:15AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/Jun 23rd 2009 1:05AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/Jun 23rd 2009 1:12AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/21/barbie-gets-a-bulgari-makeover-and-endorses-save-the-children-ch/Jun 23rd 2009 2:34AM
