Barbra Streisand takes on Barbie and Oprah
Today, Barbra Streisand, appeared on Oprah (Oh God, I need a Job so that I can stop watching Oprah, loll) and during the show the Barbra Streisand Barbie was unveiled.
First off, you all know I love Barbie… but I am really a Barbra Streisand fan! As a little girl I would watch Funny Girl and crack up. Barbra Streisand and Sophia Lauren helped mold my personality. Barbra taught me to be true to yourself, and embrace your flaws. I sooo love that Mattel gave the doll an accurate nose, loll.
I don’t think Barbara liked the final doll very much… she stated:
“Now… I worked on this doll very hard, the slit was, the slit was in the back, it had to go on the side… actually the hair is a little too sliver and the bow is a little too short, but it’s ok.”
Welp, whether she likes the doll or not it comes out the day before my birthday, November 19th. Check out the doll here…
Random Fact: Streisand was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. When I first moved to New York, I lived in Williamsburg for my first year… Barbara and I are practically sisters, lolll.
We need to end this post with a song…

One of the first albums I purchased was a Barbra album. She always got the men worth having in the movies, and was the strong outsider/misfit I always wanted to be.She might be a perfectionist biyatch, I don’t care – she gave me hope I could go out there and kick some behind like I was, without changing.
Didn’t she attend Erasmus Hall High, which was also the Alma Mater of late chess champion Bobby Fischer and animationist Joseph Barbera?
