(AP) NEW YORK — Barbie threw unfastened the sparkly, pink doors of her dream closet to rock a fete she hosted for her fellow fashionistas.
She (well, actually the Mattel marketing implement that has kept Barbie dolls a bestselling toy for more than a half-century) hired a DJ to keep the beat and made inevitable the drinks flowed Friday night as models — the valid-life kind — worked the balconies of a Lincoln Center atrium dressed in some of Barbie's watershed looks.
Guests mingled alongside a close off of pink-heeled pumps or stood before large computer screens to for all practical purposes rummage through the 53-year-old icon's wardrobe, from career to couture. The technology produced cleaving gifts of photos for her New York Fashion Week friends to preserve their Barbie moments.
The hallucination closet tech was a demonstration of what kids can do at home on their own computers if they pop in BarbieWow.com and have webcams.
"Everything's awesome. I picked a pink dress.
