Barbie Goes Bandage Glam in Herve Leger

Well, we can't say we're surprised!  Barbie has gone glam, and might we say, red hot glam this season!  Wrapped up in a Herve Leger by Max Azria red bandage dress a la the designer's 2012 fall collection, Barbie's look is taken from floral and pretty, to smoking hot and daring.  

Barbie comes with 2 dresses from the designer, one, a classic red bandage dress, a black corset belt straight off the runway designs, and black gladiator boots, accessorized by a custom gold clutch.  Seriously, who wouldn't want those boots?  And the pint sized version can be yours... for $150 that is.

The second dress is a black and white jacquard bandage dress with a hot studded clutch and open toed booties.

And get this...Barbie's custom dressings were constructed in the same factory that produces the real collection.  Their biggest challenge in making the dress?  Re-adapting the patterns to fit Barbie's body!  Ha... now there's irony in there somewhere!

What do you think of the designer Barbie?

Katniss Everdeen Becomes a Barbie!

Now that we’ve all had time to recover from the “Hunger Games” madness and multiple viewing frenzy (seriously, how many times can you squeeze in a movie on one weekend?) we’ve got some fashionable news to bring you about the film.

Jennifer Lawrence’s character Katniss Everdeen is getting a plastic makeover!  No, not that kind of plastic… she’s being turned into a Barbie doll. 

As part of the Barbie Collector line that’s releasing this Summer, Mattel is releasing a “Hunger Games” inspired doll.  Dressed up in green cargo pants and black zip up jacket, the doll comes complete with a quiver filled up with arrows, Mockingjay pin, and classic side braid.  The doll will be available in August, right when the film hits DVD. 

Will you grab up this collector Barbie?
