Barbie Turns 50...and damn, does she still look good?!?

This March, Barbie celebrates her 50th anniversary sans saddlebags and droopy eyelids (if only!) To mark the occasion, 50 designers at New York's Fashion Week unveiled their interpretations of America's favorite doll. Designers included Nicole Miller, Diane von Furstenberg, Monique Lhuillier, and of course Bob Mackie, the man that has dressed Barbie more than anyone else. You have to check out some of his previous designs at http://www.bobmackie.com/barbie.aspx


Some looks from the show...
Baby Phat Barbie. I think this one is my favorite. She's so fierce!
