I loved Barbies as a kid. I admit, I still will take a detour down the aisle at Target to spy the new Barbies, so understandably I was delighted to see some recent blog posts regarding dolls. Both MemsaabStory and atul’s bollywood song a day paid tribute to a cute doll song from Bhai Ho To Aisa titled Bol Meri Gudiya Gudde Ke Sang Jaayegi. I have yet to see the movie, but will after seeing what both their great blogs had to say about it. In the meantime, here’s my photographic puja to bloggers Memsaab and Atul, Barbies, and to dolls in general. I took these gudiya/Barbie pictures for this puja during my recent trip to India. You can watch the living doll song HERE.
I’ve posted a few other Barbie pictures here before and if you’d like to see those click HERE, HERE aur HERE. Bollywood is my adult version of playing Barbies.
I’ve always wanted a Barbie doll dressed up in Indian clothing. Urgh!
Great post Sita-ji! Chhota Akbar of Miniland Hindustan could use some company, and that Barbie in red is certainly dressed as Jodhaa! 😉
Next time you’re in Delhi, make sure you visit the Doll’s museum. It used to be my idea of heaven as a kid – sooooo many dolls and in all sorts of costumes, too! 😀
Yo Nicki!
Ya’ll bet not be trippin’ up in here dissin’ my Barbi gurl! 😉

Adab! Chhota Akbar rocks!
bollyviewer-ji,
Thanks for the visit and the tip. That would be great and provides me with yet another reason to return to India.
Did you buy any of these dolls???? 🙂 They are lovely, and thanks for the links!
I did not buy them, but I will think of them. Thanks for providing the links. 🙂

Richard-ji,
Thanks! Good lookin’ out!
Oh, but wait a minute, the story keeps changing… It turns out that there will be no Ash barbie doll after all, but there will be a Katrina Kapoor barbie doll instead. (So hard to keep up with these important events!)
