Newspaper Log- Wednesday March 10th

Today's paper had nothing in the international section that interested me. The business section, however, had an article that I was immediately drawn to because of the picture. The picture was of four Barbie dolls dressed professionally. As I read the title, "'Mad Men' Dolls In a Barbie World, But The Cocktails Must Stay Behind," I realized that the Barbies were supposed to be characters from the show Mad Men. I've never seen the show, but I read the article and was amazed at the price of just one of these Mad Men Barbie dolls. One of the collection of four has a suggested retail price of $74.95. In girl form, that would be equal to about two pairs of good jeans, or maybe three or four nice shirts.

Keeping in the realm of fashion, the fashion section in today's paper wasn't all that great. I was not a fan of the furry boots and jackets the models were wearing down the runway. I don't think it is an attractive look at all. Sometimes, fashion is just too crazy for me.
