Officially, Mattel did NOT just release DRAG QUEEN BARBIE. Unofficially . . . Mattel TOTALLY just released Drag Queen Barbie.
--There's a new Barbie doll on sale called The Blonds Blond Diamond Barbie Doll. The Blonds are two fashion designers who designed the look for the doll.
--One of them is Phillipe Blond, who's a big-time cross dresser. And the Barbie looks JUST like he does when he's in drag.
--This Barbie is wearing, quote, "a stunning silvery mini corset dress . . . featuring countless sculpted faux gems and a full-length faux fox fur with silvery jewelry and glitter pumps."
--Mattel didn't exactly deny that this is Drag Queen Barbie. A marketing rep said, quote, "One of the great things about Barbie is that she continues to push the envelope. Barbie doesn't worry about what other people think."
--The Blonds Blond Diamond Barbie Doll is a limited-edition version . . . and costs $125. It appears to be backordered everywhere online.
