The Tango BarbieŽ doll is Bob Mackie's tribute to the most passionate dance the world has ever known. Not only is she the first doll in this breathtaking series, she is also Bob Mackie's first porcelain Barbie doll ever. She is sculpted in a classic Tango dance pose -- one hand reaching out for her mystery partner, the other placed coyly on her hip -- with her poseable head turned to one side. Her shimmering purple gown is accented with hand-sewn beading, and a fuchsia, lime green, and turquoise butterfly with glass beads adorns her fitted bodice. An elaborate, embroidered headpiece frames her lovely face and enhances her fiery red upswept hair. Hand-numbered in golden ink, this doll comes with a signed reproduction of Mackie's original fashion sketch. Limited to 20,000. |

BarbieŽ bears incredible likeness to the flappers of the 1920s dance scene. Her dress is beaded on orange material with chartreuse, green, gold, and clear beads, and features a skirt made up of separate beaded panels. She wears a bubble-shaped coat of beaded leopard print lined in bright purple satin and trimmed in long brown fur, and dons a small cap covered with over 1,000 chartreuse, green, and gold beads with two blond curls peeking out. Her thigh-high stockings and shoes are painted onto her legs. Jewelry accents include a long chartreuse green beaded necklace and multicolored beaded bracelets. Porcelain body was specially sculpted to achieve "Charleston" posing. |
