SuperStar Barbie™ made her debut in 1977 with her long feathered hair, hot pink satin gown, boa and famous diamond jewelry. She was a favorite among young girls in the 70’s.
In celebration of Barbie’s® 51st birthday, Mattel have unveiled a modernized version of the original SuperStar Barbie™ giving her a fresh glam look (would we call this a Heidi Montag makeover?)
The 2010 SuperStar Barbie™ wears a short version of her original dress, pink platforms and capped version of her original boa. And the new SuperStar Barbie™ continues to sport a dazzling set of stud earrings, drop necklace, and the legendary diamond ring.
And to celebrate Barbie’s 51st birthday (9th March) the SuperStar Barbie™ will be available for US$3 just for a week at retailers nationwide across the US.
I hope we’re not going to see as many celebrations as we did last year, that’s just too much Barbie time even for me! But I think my favourite collaboration has to be the Christian Louboutin, MAC and we can’t forget Barbie’s Malibu house! Okay, that’s three, it’s hard they were all good collaborations!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mattel repaints/repackages all of the Barbies just to keep the money flowing to their pockets.
