In celebration of the 50th anniversary of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” Mattel has announced a “David Bowie” Barbie doll. On Amazon, it’s priced at $50. From the New York Times:
It’s a notably androgynous look for a doll that epitomized the stereotypes of feminine appearance in its earlier iterations. In more recent years, however, male celebrity depictions have not just been reserved for Ken. Over the past decade, Barbie has dressed like Andy Warhol, Elvis and Frank Sinatra.
