Finally Mattel who created the Mad Men Barbie's are creating a Grace Kelly doll. Now Betty Draper and Grace Kelly can meet each other and go on fabulous gal pal night outs...when playing. I mean err...they can stand side by side in a glass cabinet. 

No seriously, Mattel have been talking about Grace Kelly the doll for a while, but no pictures or hints of what she would wear were leaked untill now. The Grace Kelly Barbie by Mattel, inc is wearing the blue chiffon gown designed by Edith Head for the film To Catch a Thief. The Grace Kelly Barbie will be available to buy from July 2011 for $39.99 at Barbie retailers.

My birthday is in July...I am just saying.  

Betty Draper Barbie...yes please.

Mad Men's Don Draper, Betty Draper, Joan Holloway and Roger Sterling have been immortalised in plastic by Mattel, who has created Barbie and Ken doll versions of the television characters. Playing house has never looked so good!

I am 25...is that an ok age to start playing house with my barbies...again. Ehem. If I was still living at home my dad would make me buy these and never let me play with them. (Stoopid collector's items). My sister and I had all the spice girl dolls...which we had to keep in the box with all their accessories "just incase they were worth something later on". (No thanks to Geri).
Mattels Mad Men dolls come complete with vintage clothing and accessories, but for obvious reasons the dolls are based on just the characters looks. Not a wandering eye, hand, martini glass or cigarette in sight!
The new dolls will be priced just under £50 ($75) and can be ordered online at amctv.com or barbiecollector.com
So what are you waiting for....I have my eye on a Betty and a Don...they will love eachother forever in my story and Don will never cheat and Betty will never kiss other men...what a life. There will always be martinis though...always.

Ken Turns 50!

Barbies toy boy Ken who arrived two years after Barbie has just turned 50. He looks alright no? Clearly some serious work has been done in the span of 50 years...I mean look how plastic he looks!
