I’ve written before on how enamoured I am with all things brand Barbie (she’s American, pink, girly and a fashionista – go figure), but I loved today’s little piece in Sport magazine about brand Barbie’s latest foray.
A Barbie football table no less. As our good friends at Sport observed: only available in pink. Natch.

Far too much cricket and not enough pink dominating my blog space at the moment, so I figured an injection of fashionista fun from our favourite plastic goddess should do the trick.
My colleague Emma at Synergy posted a great piece today including the latest footage from the Mercedes-Benz runway show taking place this week, with Barbie styled by the top designers showing at this year’s New York Fashion Week – from DVF to Donna Karan.
