1997 Madame Du Barbie Doll - A piece of Art

Gown (below) of Queen Sofia Magdelena of Sweden. It was made in Paris of silver cloth, and consists, like all French court gowns, in three separate pieces: bodice, skirt and train. Indeed in the course of the 18th century all European courts had adopted the Versailles court costume. (http://blog.catherinedelors.com/18th-century-court-costume-and-marie-antoinette/)

This is one of the dolls that i like to look, just take my time and appreciate, like a piece of art.

  

  

With the theatrical flair and fantasy women have come to expect from designer Bob Mackie, the 10th Barbie doll in the series is introduced. Madame du Barbie doll captures the majesty and opulent elegance of the eighteenth century royal court of France. Her gown is a breathtaking confection of ice blue brocade with bead and jewel-embellished rococo embroidery. The coiffure and headpiece are appropriate for the most elegant of royal occasions. Again Bob Mackie has achieved the classic essence of true glamour.

 

Celebrity Monday - Katty Perry

Katy Perry (born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson; October 25, 1984) is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Born in Santa Barbara, California, and raised by Christian pastor parents, Perry grew up listening to only gospel music and sang in her local church as a child. After earning a GED during her first year of high school, she began to pursue a career in music. As Katy Hudson, she released a self-titled gospel album in 2001, which was unsuccessful. She later recorded an album with production team The Matrix and completed the majority of a solo album from 2004–05, the latter of which was never released. Perry is the first female artist to get five hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in one year. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy_Perry)

If you ask me, yesterday, who's Katy Perry, all i would say is "she's a singer", short and dry, i don't know anything else about this girl, i see her on TV sometimes, don't even know what kind of music she singers, anyways, for one thing she was know by me. Mattel created a doll just like her, exclusively in favor of Charity (benefit Project Angel Food - provide food for those afflicted with HIV and AIDS).

The inspiration was "the California girl" music video. Mattel Barbie designer Amy Lee went into great detail on the Barbie doll, which contains 70 hand-painted cupcakes, a glittered candy cane mic and fishnet stockings with embedded Swarovski crystals.

Now i know a little bit more about her...

Vintage Wednesday - 1966 Ken Go Go Doll

Go-go is a sub genre associated with funk that originated in the Washington, D.C., area during the mid- 1960s to late-1970s. Inspired by artists such as Chuck Brown, Go-go is a blend of funk, rhythm and blues, and early hip-hop, with a focus on lo-fi percussion instruments and funk-style jamming in place of dance tracks, although some sampling is used. As such, it is primarily a dance hall music with an emphasis on live audience call and response. Go-go rhythms are also incorporated into street percussion.

A 1966 Ken doll couldn't shown it better...
