Life in plastic, it evidently is fantastic. First Vogue, then Colette, now her own music and dance video choreographed by JaQuel Knight, the fast feet behind Bizonce's smokin' hot "Single Ladies" video. Today, on her YouTube channel, Barbie premiers her first music video entitled "Do 'the Barbie'" to celebrate the launch of her new Barbie® Fashionistas™ dolls.Shot in New York last month, the video stars three Barbie Fashionistas dolls, “Sassy,” “Cutie” and “Artsy" shamelessly lip-syncing a re-recorded version of Aqua's "Barbie Girl" complete with new lyrics. I would hope so, as mothers across the nation probably don't want their 8 year old girls "doing" the Barbie whilst belting out, "you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere, imagination, life is your creation."
In the video, the dolls bust out of their toy boxes --fulfilling a longstanding childhood fantasy of mine--and come alive to dance “The Barbie” alongside real, life-size Barbie dancers. And what Barbie video would be complete without a steamy cameo from “Hottie” Ken®? Three Barbies, one Ken--time to teach those young girls the tough reality of survival of the fittest.
“I have had the privilege of working with celebrities like Beyoncé and Britney Spears," said JaQuel, "and I am thrilled to add another B to the roster” Well, Mr. Knight, if you're so thrilled, why don't you put a pint-size plastic ring on it?
The Barbie® Fashionistas™ Dolls, £9.99, will be available internationally from October 2009.
