Barbie 2000 Collectors Edition
No serious Barbie collection is complete without the official  Collector's EditionBarbie 2000. Unlike her sisters who have  commemorated other great years, Barbie 2000 marks the end of an era that  she has greatly influenced--the 20th century--and the beginning of a new  one in which she strikes a more classic image, wears natural makeup, and  reflects a greater representation of diverse cultures.Barbie 2000 is impeccably styled for this special year, wearing a  glamorous red and silver gala ensemble. Her contoured red gown is  patterned with small red patches of silver sparkles and a scattering of  silver "2000" logos. The halter neck of the dress is sustained by a  rhinestone choker, which accents large, star-shaped gold drop earrings.  Thepièce de résistanceis a floor-length stole of  red and silver sateen. Her hair is styled in a huge, formal topknot with  side-swept bangs. Other accessories include hair adornments that match  her earrings, high-shine red pumps, and a posing stand. A certificate of  authenticity is also included.--Diane Beall
