I have heard a lot about Katrina Kaif and her upcoming Barbie doll but I don't know much more about Katrina apart from the fact that she is an actress born in England who became a big Bollywood star! I remember reading about the doll last fall and there were even prototype pictures available. As you can see from the pics, the prototype is wearing an outfit similar to an outfit that Katrina Kaif modeled for Barbie's 50th Anniversary. The doll was also a Model Muse doll. It looks like Katrina Barbie went through some changes for the final product. Now you can own her Barbie doll from the I Can Be series. Barbie I Can Be a Movie Star, Katrina Kaif features the Barbie I Can Be a Movie Star packaging that is similar to the US Version. Katrina Barbie also holds a female gold "Oscar" in her hand. I was able to obtain one of these dolls from a friend in India. I will post some pictures in my next blog post.

The Good The Bad and the Ugly: Two New Barbie Books
A few new Barbie books are being released in time for Barbie's 50th Anniversary. One is a new biography of Ruth Handler and Barbie. Based on original research, extensive interviews, and previously unavailable material, Barbie and Ruth tells the fascinating story of how two women forever changed American business and culture.
A second book may take you more deeply into the world of Mattel. Toy Monster takes a tour of Mattel’s seamier side and chronicles the fierce competition and eventual litigation between Mattel and the creators of the rival Bratz line, as well as 2007’s “Black Friday the 13th,” when potentially deadly magnets and lead paint in the company’s most popular toys led to two massive recalls. You can read a review of the book here.
Both of these books should provide some interesting reading in this 50th year of Barbie!
