We heard a rumor from ground control – Mattel announces a second barbie doll in its Signature Collection
There’s a brand new doll from Mattel and we do know it’s name: The David Bowie “Life On Mars” Powder Blue Suit Barbie. According to Mattel, this is the second doll in a series that pays tribute to “the cultural legacy of the musical genius who redefined rock and roll” and commemorates the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s album, Hunky Dory.
Details from the NY Post reveal that the new David Bowie Barbie will include a “foil-printed pin-stripe shirt, the statement tie, platform shoes, blue eye shadow and ‘a hairstyle inspired by Bowie’s 70s glam era'” with design by Linda Kyaw-Merschon that can be traced back to Bowie’s “Life On Mars” video.
Those platform shoes. Oh bop, fashion.
