Throw Another Beer on the Barbie

A Munich designer has turned Barbie into a beer swilling, sausage eating German.

 

James Waldron, head designer for the fashion label Rena Lange, has created a special Oktoberfest Barbie wearing an Alpine dirndl dress – complete with beer jug.

 

The dirndl is the traditional dress worn by women in Bavaria and the Alps.

 

Waldron says he created the “Mountain Dirndl Barbie” based on Julie Andrews’ character Maria in The Sound of Music.

 

However, he wouldn’t say whether a lederhosen-clad “Comatose Ken” would be joining Barbie.
