Isn’t it gawwwgeous?! Mattel has issued a limited edition Barbra Streisand Barbie doll that retails for $55, and designed in the image of a 1960s Babs performing in a sailor suit she wore on the Judy Garland Show.

Ever the perfectionist she is, Barbra had a hand in the design of the doll. She revealed on Thursday’s Oprah show that it still isn’t quite how she wanted it to be:

“I worked on this doll, very hard. The slit was in the back, had it go on the side. The fabric–the bow had a limp, it had to go straight. The hair is actually a little too silver, the bow is a little short, but it’s okay Mattel.”

The Burqini is a woman’s answer to modest swimwear. It doesn’t show any skin, but it’s not too loose to the point where it’s difficult to swim. The garment is designed with the respect of Islamic values and aimed to enhance the lifestyle of the active Muslim female. As a bonus, you won’t have to do any carb counting to hit the pool or beach in one of these babies.

The American Girl doll company has unveiled its newest addition to the multi-culti collection–a homeless girl.

Gwen Thompson joins the black chick, Latina chick, Jewish chick and about five other dolls who basically look exactly alike, with varying hair and eye color, for a bargain price tag of $95.

Here’s Gwen’s bio:

Her father ran out on the family and her mother lost her job. By winter, the fatherless family is living in their car.

Does Gwen look like a so-called homeless girl to you? She resembles any spoiled Cali girl to me. I decided to go ahead and re-work the doll to reflect homelessness more accurately:

I never thought the day would come when I would come across a Playboy magazine printed in Braille.

So I’d just like to take this time out to say: Thank You, Internet.

A one-time edition of Playboy magazine was issued for the blind in January 1974, and it’s currently on sale on Ebay for a bargain of $8.50! I wonder if the pictures feel extra good in Braille!

Only on Ebay, the MUST HAVE ITEM of all time “Jesus riding dinosaur oil painting.” The auction just ended, but some lucky person is now the owner of this sweet work of art. I’m sure there was a bidding war between Heidi Montag and Kevin Jonas.
