It's a Barbie world and Tarina Tarantino is a Barbie girl!

After years of designing accessories featuring the world's most famous blond, Mattel has designed a Barbie doll after the pink haired accessory designer Tarina Tarantino. Tarina didn't just sit back and watch herself be brought into doll form; she played a huge role in designing her Barbie doll. Tarina opted for the doll to have a rounder face, a pink crystal adorned dress, and of course ... tiny Tarina Tarantino accessories.

Tarina is following in the footsteps of fellow pink lady Patricia Field, who is also collaborating with Barbie as she launches her Barbie by Patricia Field Holiday 2007 Collection this week.
