As the year draws to a close, what comes to your mind? Snow-covered streets, icy winds, and roaring fires? Holiday galas and celebrations with family and friends that will be remembered for years to come? It's a wonderful time of year, and Barbie® Collector is happy to present a beautiful doll, as special as the season! For over a decade, the holiday season has been eagerly anticipated because of the appearance of a holiday-themed Barbie® doll. This doll has become an annual tradition for many collectors, commemorating the year and reflecting the love and joy of the season. In many families, the holiday-themed Barbie® is a very special gift, shared by mothers, daughters, and granddaughters and represents a keepsake that will long be cherished. The Holiday'„¢ Barbie® doll is unique since, for the first time ever, Bob Mackie is the designer behind this exquisite doll. Shimmering and sparkling with glitter, this doll exhibits the extravagance and glamour for which Mr. Mackie is famous! The gown is beautifully crafted of glitter printed jacquard, mushroom pleated tulle, fuchsia sparkle organza, and pink satin. The burgundy flock sash features a silvery edge. A glitter printed starburst design embellishes the shoulder. Brooch, necklace, earrings, and crown are the lovely accessories. The Holiday'„¢ Barbie® doll dressed in a burgundy and silver gown is available at retailers now. Additionally, a second Holiday'„¢ Barbie® doll, wearing a green version of the gown, is available exclusively at Sears. Another difference between the two Holiday'„¢ dolls is that the jewelry on the burgundy version features green faux gem accents, while the doll wearing green includes magenta-hued faux gems. For years, Bob Mackie's designs have graced some of the most famous stars in the entertainment industry as well as some of the most glamorous women throughout the world. In 1990, Mackie glamour reached the pinnacle of fantasy when he began designing for the definitive fashion doll - Barbie®. 2005 marks Mr. Mackie's first ever Holiday'„¢ Barbie® doll creation, sure to be treasured for years to come!
