In the land of dolls and glamour, I'm no child, but who doesn't get lost looking back at years playing with our BFF Barbie, dressing her up, cutting her hair, crying about it afterwards and then moving onto the next Barbie? Well, those fantastic memories have made their way back into my mind with news of a Barbie and Christian Louboutin collaboration. After 50 years, and 1 billion pairs of fabulous shoes, Barbie is kicking it up a notch with the help of one of the hottest shoe designers out there....Christian Louboutin. Did I mention he's her godfather? Yeah, Mattel made it loud and clear. With her 50 year celebration behind her, Barbie is looking to her Godfather, Christian Louboutin for a new look. In no better place than Paris, Barbie explores all of Christian Louboutin's favorite places and his fashion-filled life. In a soon to be released 2010 souvenir, a Barbie Calendar Dairy will be filled with colorful and whimsical photos of her adventures in Paris with Christian Louboutin. A series of 3 Barbies, deigned by Christian himself will be available at the end of this year and only 2,400 of the first 7,700 Louboutin Barbie's will be priced at $150 online and out of the catalog. Did I mention that according to Christian, Barbie had cankles? Who knew? Take those license plate frames down ladies. Look's like Barbie doesn't have "everything".
