Burka Barbie
Mattel introduces the Burka Barbies for its 50th anniversary. The Barbie dolls had a makeover this time as they wear the traditional Islamic dress called the Burka. The Burka Barbies were shown along with more than 500 Barbie dolls yesterday at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy.
The iconic doll collection will be sold for a charity auction in connection for Save The Children.
