Ken is that you? Barbie gets a dragtastic makeover with a new limited edition doll modeled after Phillipe Blond, one transvestite half of the fashion design duo, The Blonds. Inspired by a look from their fall 2008 collection, the $125 Blond Diamond Barbie comes dolled up in a white faux-fur coat with hot pink lining and a showstopping bejeweled corset dress any drag queen would sacrifice her best wig to tuck into. While the doll officially comes out of Mattel’s closet in December — just in time for Christmas (hint, hint) — there’s no word on if Blond Diamond Barbie comes with a package of her own that needs unwrapping. Click through the gallery for more pictures of this diminutive diamond diva.

So this is a ‘high fashion’ barbie doll.
The only reason it gets deemed ‘drag queen barbie’ is because the designer.
Um.. so now it’s bad to let little girls play with dolls that have pretty dresses (that’s exactly what they are saying on fox news forums).
How sad.
