In case you were wondering, Barbie fever has not yet abated. I saw Greta Gerwig’s excellent film and have watched with fascination as the cultural phenomenon of Barbie has taken on new life.
But so far I haven’t really had any desire to succumb to the merchandizing blitz. Oh, sure, those Crocs were kinda cool, but the small sizes sold out quickly and, anyway, they were kinda pricey for shoes I’d normally wear for working in the garden.
But now, my witches, now I have learned there is a collectible STEVIE NICKS BARBIE, from the era of the Rumours album, not long after Stevie’s pagan paean “Rhiannon” came out…and I don’t know about you, but I am mightily tempted to own her.
Today on Twitter, the grande dame of break-up rock herself announced she’d been living with her plastic likeness for a few months, and, just in time for Hallowe’en apparently, this black-clad Gothic Barbie in knee-high go-go boots and a crescent moon pendant is ready for you to (stand back) take her HOME.
So what do you think? Will you get a signature Stevie Nicks Barbie?
