Barbie Winter Sparkle Holiday Tree

charitybuzz | #109503 - Barbie® Winter Sparkle Holiday Tree

Another one-of-a-kind auction item that could be yours is the Barbie-themed 6.5' Christmas tree, trimmed with over 50 custom-made ornaments, which celebrate Barbie's 50th anniversary. It's a collaborative creation of Mattel artists and designers, and it can be yours with a starting bid of $500.

The "snow-kissed" tree is pre-lit with pink lights for easy assembly. The ornaments include laser-cut Barbie signatures and silhouettes with a mirror-finish, hand-glittered snowflakes, gem-encrusted baubles, and frosty pink mini Original Teenage Fashion Model™ Barbies. Adorning the tree top is a gorgeous Generations of Dreams™ doll with one-of-a-kind (maybe even pink??) hair and face painting. To complete the look: a reversible tree skirt: trimmed in sparkling pink tulle, one side is the reproduction of original Barbie illustrations; the other a sequined print of the Barbie signature in 219C pink.

All proceeds of this auction will also benefit Project Angel Food. The auction closes on December 14, 2009 at 12:06 PM EST. (Go ahead! It's for a good cause! And check out the other amazing items while you're there.)

Barbie Loves Rachel Zoe

charitybuzz | #109507 - Barbie® Doll Loves Rachel Zoe

This one-of-a-kind set of two dolls was created for a charity auction by Mattel designer Stephen Sumner for the Divine Design event. When I checked, the next bid was for $300 for the set of two dolls:

• Barbie, wearing a pink, Chanel-inspired one-shouldered silk charmeuse gown with a train, which is attached to the crystal bracelet.
• "Glam bohemian" Rachel Zoe doll, dressed in a Missoni -inspired sweater dress over wide-leg jeans, accessorized with a sequined beret and an orange Hermés-inspired Birkin Bag.

Proceeds from this auction benefit Project Angel Food, and you can place your bid today. The auction closes on December 14, 2009 at 12:10 PM. Personally, I hope to see Rachel Zoe make another appearance. She's adorable!
