CHANEL Shade Parade

When my kids were small I had a trick to get their mind off visits to the doctor.  I would put Barbie shoes on my fingers and do a "dance" which would usually make them laugh and put them in a different frame of mind.
I recently saw this new Chanel nail polish campaign and could not help remember the days I spent "dancing" with Barbie shoes!  Not only did this commercial bring back great memories, it is also entertaining and as far as I see, brilliant!  Kudos to Chanel's advertising agency on a job well done!  Take a look and see for yourself......

Father of BARBIE Dies

Elliot Handler, part owner of Mattel toys and the man credited with naming the BARBIE doll after his daugher has passed away at 95.  Mr. Handler's wife came up with the idea for the doll and he named her.  Barbie was soon followed by Ken, named after the Handler's son.
