2000 Barbie For President Doll

Presidential candidate Barbie is a political powerhouse, ready to give Al Gore and George W. Bush a run for their money. Looking mature, confident, and ready to run the country, President 2000 Barbie wears a royal blue jacket and skirt combination with blue stockings and pumps. Her jewelry consists of a tasteful pearl necklace and earrings, and her hair is carefully coifed in a fashionable, but sensible, Tipper-style do. She wears a "Barbie for President" badge on her lapel and carries a couple of "Barbie for President" signs. A red satin evening gown, perfect for fundraising parties, is also included. The packaging plugs a couple of organizations (Girls Inc. and The White House Project) that encourage girls to pursue leadership roles, and the box includes literature from both organizations. --Elisabeth Fredrickson
