Fashion on the runway has always been a creative energizer for me. But, my actual first recognition of fashion came in the form of a little doll named Barbie. Now, at age 50, Barbie and the New York Fashion runway become one! Mattel, the maker of Barbie, is sponsoring the New York Fashion week for three years, and they just had their runway show in February for Fall 2009. It was everything you could imagine for Barbie: big hair, fashion through the ages, and lots of pink. Although models have often been categorized as somewhat plastic, there is no doubt on this runway show that it's what they are...models embodying their plastic predecessor. Although I didn't see anything quite exciting in the fashion sense, it looked like a fun flaunt into the life of an iconoclast that has inspired so many little girls to dress up and be seen. Angie

I couldn't tell if that model was a person or a big Barbie.
