Who do you think will be more excited: you or the little girl in your life at the new “Ladies of the Eighties” Barbie-type dolls?! The perfect combo of retro cool and different-from-the-rest, you can begin her rock education with her very own Blondie, Cyndi Lauper or Joan Jett. See the rapture in her eyes as she opens up the Blondie box this holiday season and be happy when she just wants to have fun, fun, fun with her girl Cyndi. And point out that the sneakers on Joan show that not all Barbies are created equal or look the same (although they are all just as skinny…) Regardless, pre-order your Eighties Rocker chic so you get her in time for the holidays. Then when the package(s) are opened and you start reminiscing and playing pretend with your little girl, you’ll realize who really is more excited. It might just be a tie.

But here I am, sharing, exercising my ogling muscles and asking you, please, please ogle with me these adooooorable pint-sized versions of the mid-century modern masterpieces.  And get more info HERE.
