Hello Dolly...

I had a Rockstar Barbie when I was a girl, but nothing as cool as these:
Yes that's Debbie Harry and Joan Jett. Also available is Cyndi Lauper apparently. (Found via here)

uhhhm
Debbie Harry looks a little too "wholesome" to me
plus she never wore dresses or shoes like those
and she has a totally different body shape - she is completely flat chested for example.
Ah, of course they are Barbies
And therefore have a troubling relationship with body size/ shape. As illustrated by the BBC earlier this year:
Hmm, interesting article
Picture of Brigitte Bardot's waist was a bit scary though
Rock Star Barbie existed?
Jealous.
I only had Sindys, and had to make my own 'rock star' Sindy, with help from my seamstress Grandma, the sleeves on one of my Mum's old plastic macs and nail scissors (for the hair). I would have killed for a Debbie Harry doll when I was 8.
Sigh.
Ah she was fab
Came with a white 'leather' jacket, a pink microphone and a tape (also pink, obviously) of her songs. I had the Barbie motorbike too, so after a hard night of being a rock star, my Barbie would ride off into the sunset...
or 'doing an Archie'
as I think it may be called round here :-(
Is it wrong...
...to be searching the internet for the cost of a rock star Barbie?
No.
It is very, very right.
Spooky
Or even deja vu...

Many apologies
That thread had passed me by. Great minds think alike though, eh?
Goth barbie
This is fun
Love the line about unpublished poetry.
I have only just found out about this one
but if I had known about it in the 80s I would have wanted one of these dolls. Even cooler than Rockstar Barbie.
Not weird. Not weird at all.
So, ladies, have we all got our Bella & Edward Barbies?
That Edward doll is the creepiest thing I have ever seen.
And I have seen some really creepy things.
Action Man
After reading Andrew Harrison's piece in the current edition today (I'm behind the times, I know), was just wondering if there'll be some rock star Action Man figures in response.
Thom Yorke action man - with crazy dance moves, keyboard and "No War" sign
Anthony Kiedis action man - comes with a sock. That is all.
Chris Martin action man - With French revolutionary outfit, piano and "Make Trade Fair" sign
Ozzy Osbourne - comes with a bat, Adidas jogging trousers, goth bling and talks! (Two catchphrases - "ALLLLLLL ABOARD!! AHHHAAAAHAAAA!!!" and "SHARON!"
The possibilities are endless.
Also available
Pete Doherty - complete with crack pipe and probation officer
Iggy Pop - with see-through PVC trousers
Morissey - comes with tiny plastic bottles to throw at him
