- <p> Thirty may be the last birthday BARBIE will ever want to
- celebrate. So she's treating herself to a wardrobe by famous
- designers, including a cascading fantasy gown by Paris-based
- American designer and button maniac Patrick Kelly. "I wanted to
- make it like Erte's mermaid dress," says Kelly. "He's one of my
- heroes, and that's the image most men have of sexy women in the
- world." He adds, "Barbie was a big trip in my mind. When I was
- growing up, all the girls in my neighborhood were so happy when
- they got their first black Barbie." Now 30-something himself,
- Kelly has two Barbies in his collection of 6,000 black dolls.
- "Thirty!" he mused. "She's not a baby anymore." She never was.
