One Of A Kind Pink Diamond™ Barbie Doll by The Blonds Auctioned To Benefit Charity.

This original one-of-a-kind Pink Diamond™ Barbie® doll by design duo Phillipe and David Blond of The Blonds was unveiled at The Blonds Spring 2013 show during New York Fashion Week. The doll is now being auctioned off for charity with proceeds benefiting the MAC Aids Fund organization. Bidding has begun (link to bid is at the end of this post) and the auction ends on Tuesday, September 25th.



Pink Diamond™ Barbie® doll is extra special as her stunning fuchsia and rose “gem” encrusted mini corset dress and pumps were designed and hand embellished by The Blonds themselves. Doll’d up with her famous platinum locks in luscious curls, Barbie® doll’s dazzling accessories complete her look with luxe full-length faux fur coat, pink studded earrings, and pink sparkling ring!

Phillipe and David Blond of The Blonds create fabulous and over-the-top styles for starlets: gem-encrusted bodysuits; crystal corsets; mini-dresses lavishly embellished with stars, spikes, and sequins. The two partnered with Mattel Principal Designer, Bill Greening, to create this stunning one-of-a-kind Barbie® doll.

You may have seen this doll clad in silver on blogs, sites and news weeklies with the provocative title "Mattel Releases The First Drag Queen Barbie" but the doll was never intended to be anything but all woman. The confusion was because people assumed the doll was based on one half of its design duo, Phillipe Blond, known for his own sparkly cross-dressing (see below):
