Mattel creates "Mad Men" Barbie dolls
Don and Betty Draper, Roger Sterling and Joan Holloway will each get their own dolls. But as Stuart Elliott notes, the dolls represent a departure for Barbie: "That two dolls represent a relationship outside wedlock, and Don Draper’s propensity for adultery, may be firsts for the Barbie world since the brand’s introduction five decades ago. But for the sake of the Barbie image, her immersion in the “Mad Men” era will go only so far: The dolls come with period accessories like hats, overcoats, pearls and padded undergarments, but no cigarettes, ashtrays, martini glasses or cocktail shakers."
