If only Ken had shown some of Don Draper's impeccable style, he may still be around. Just look at Barbie's new friends. Don & Betty Draper, Roger Sterling & Joan Holloway are about to become immortalised as Mattel plans to bring out versions of Barbie and Ken styled after the four 'Mad Men' characters. The limited edition collectable dolls will be launched in July to coincide with the new television season of 'Mad Men'.
I think I just may have found the perfect 'family' for that ever-so-stylish dolls' house.Or maybe not so perfect. After all, Don has a propensity for adultery, Betty is divorcing Don for another man, and Joan was Roger's mistress. It's quite complicated. But oh so perfect for Barbie, don't you agree!

P.S I think my original 1960's era Barbie has a distinct 'Joan' look about her, don't you?

How funny, love it! I've been lamenting the difficulty of sewing teeny-tiny outfits, these look superb... perhaps I should give it a shot one of these days.
