New Barbie Earns a Pink Ribbon

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In honor of this special month, toy manufacturer Mattel has created Pink Ribbon™ Barbie®, in partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Liz Grampp, Director of Marketing for Mattel says, “Barbie® doll has traditionally provided a great way for mothers – and even grandmothers – to connect with their daughters. Pink Ribbon™ Barbie® affords an opportunity to begin a dialogue about breast cancer among the thousands of families faced with this emotionally-challenging situation.”

By the way, the designer for Pink Ribbon™ Barbie®, and many of the other Barbie collectibles, is Robert Best. Project Runway fans know Best as one of the designers who competed in the recently completed third season of the reality show on Bravo TV
