All Doll'd Up

Announcing the Search for the Great American Boyfriend

Dolls! Apologies for the long absence. I've missed you! I hope everyone had fun filled holiday season and a fab start to 2011.

It's not like me to take such a long blog hiatus, but it has been quite a busy fall and winter.  I became a Computer Engineer and News Anchor, we launched a new BarbieCollector.com, released the absolutely gorgeous Blonde Book, and thousands of you shared your "I Can Be" dreams with me on Facebook.

I've returned to let you know about something very special.  I am excited to announce that the a-mazing new digital competition reality series "Genuine Ken: The Search for the Great American Boyfriend," hosted by the stylish Whitney Port, premiered exclusively on Hulu today! 

Throughout the show, eight a-dorable Ken-testants will compete in a series of elimination challenges to determine if they, like Ken (yes, my ex!), have the qualities to be the ultimate boyfriend for every occasion. Whether it's a surfing competition, a cooking challenge or proving they have the best style, the guys will showcase their Ken-like qualities to woo Whitney Port and other celebrity guest judges. The winner of Genuine Ken will receive a modeling contract with Mattel, and a one-of-a-kind doll made in his likeness!

I cannot wait to see which dreamy Ken-testant wins! Make sure to check out the guys here, watch the first episode below and let me know what you think.

xoxo,

B.

 

Heidi Klum Is Such a Doll!

She’s iconic, platinum blonde, totally clever and has legs that go for miles... No, not me silly! I mean Heidi Klum, of course!

The ultra-lovely Project Runway queen and uber-super supermodel did me the fabulous favor of singing my praise to People magazine this week. You almost have to read it to believe it. From childhood memories to her favorite fashion accessory, check out what she has to dish about yours truly! I guess you can say we’ve had more than a few fashionable times together over the past few years...

Even more fun? She recently went on camera with Modelinia about how I filled in for her during Fashion Week in NYC! It was such a good time, and Heidi’s reaction was priceless. Check out our little recap, and my exclusive convo (plus reality show plans—wink, wink!) with Michael Kors on my YouTube page.

And if you really want to find out why Heidi and I make the perfect BFFs, check out her top dolls right here!

Who makes the cut? Who isn’t on the list? I promise, it’s more suspenseful than even the best episodes of Project Runway!

Auf Wiedersehen!,
