Heidi Klum accepted into Barbie hall of fame

July 22nd, 2009

As part of the Blonde Ambition series that previously included dolls of the Hollywood actresses Marilyn Monroe and Goldie Hawn, German supermodel Heidi Klum’s mini-me will hit stores in September.
The doll took eight months to produce with Klum actively participating in the design process of her Barbie’s clothes and accessories but also facial features as well as eye and hair color.
“It’s great to collect Barbies, to play with them and dress them over and over again,” Klum said in a press release. “I believe that’s fun not only for children but also for adults – speaking from my own experience.”
Klum’s Barbie wears a dress inspired by an outfit from a Victoria’s Secret showcase – the lingerie label that made Heidi Klum famous – and a few personal accessories such as the model’s engagement ring and golden high heels and earrings.
Heidi Klum turning up at the Barbie fashion show in New York in February and her presence at the birthday party in Malibu – Barbie turned 50 earlier this year – had already prompted speculation of a potential collaboration between the two pop culture icons. – AFP Relaxnews
