Barbie is all set for a traditional makeover – the doll will don a burqa for a charity auction. The much-adored Barbie will be auctioned in the traditional Islamic dress for Sotheby’s Save the Children charity. Over 500 dolls were displayed in Florence, Italy, as part of the celebrations of Barbie’s 50th anniversary this year. Manufacturer Mattel is believed to be supportive of the exhibit, partly the creation of Italian designer Eliana Lorena. “I know Barbie was something seen as bad before as an image for girls, but in actual fact the message with Barbie for women is you can be whatever you want to be,” Fox News quoted Lorena, as telling the Daily Mail.

Was it me or was this year’s Emmy fashions snooze-worthy? I was bored during Fashion Week in NYC as well, but last night’s Emmy Awards took the cake. Maybe it had to do with the fact that most of the dresses were tube top designs, resulting in flattened chests that made their way to the armpits. Presenters need to keep in mind that when they are TV, we focus on the shoulder up, so they should wear something that has a bit of pizazz. I did see a few frocks that caught my eye although none made their way to the stage. Here are my top picks:
