When i was a kid Barbie consumed most of my time.
I had the Mansion, the camper van,the stables,the horses,the beach house,the Porsche car,the makeover torso
everything.
I now have 6 tubs full of Barbies,Ken's & Kelly (and her friends)
Every Thursday night after Moonbeams/Sunbeams;;
(Salvation army's version of Girl scouts)
If i was good,and i wore my uniform correctly,and i didn't argue that i didn't want to go that night my mummy would buy me a Barbie (or Barbie accessory)
I loved Barbie.
And as much as I adore the plastic fantastic (unrealistic) image of beauty
and associate most of my childhood with Barbie..
I still cannot contemplate spending $510,000 on one.
This IS the Ultimate Barbie!

| Canturi and his favorite girl. |
Sydney jeweler Stefano Canturi in association with Mattel has created'Bling Barbie', A one-of-a-kind doll showing off a one-carat Australian argyle pink diamond necklace designed by Canturi who also designed Barbies stilettos, strapless dress, hair & make-up!
The jewelry pieces include over three carats of diamonds; a Canturi necklace with a one carat, emerald cut pink diamonds and a stunning diamond ring on her right hand.
"I wanted the jewelry design to pay homage to Barbie's modern yet timeless style, this is why I applied my Cubism design concept to her look; it is perfect for her,"-Canturi.
After Barbie tours cites like New York,Geneva & Hong Kong Barbie will then be auctioned at the famous Christie's Auction House in NYC on October 20th.2010 with all proceeds going towards The Breast Cancer foundation.
Great cause.
Great idea.
But i have to wonder who has this kind of money lying around that they can just fitter away at auction;let alone on a hunk of plastic wearing an designer outfit and ice to match?
She better secretly talk or walk or have long lasting plastic!
Oh...and did you know that Barbie and Ken broke up In 2004!!!
(Mattel announced the split but didn't say why..weird)
I was wondering why all my Ken's were in separate tubs then my Barbies.
What would you dress your ultimate Barbie in?
