Tippi Hedren

Talk about a bad case
of crows' feet ...I consider myself as manly as the next guy. Sure, I like Hello Kitty and all, but who doesn't?

I've always drawn the line at Barbie. I refuse to play with Barbie dolls. But, now Mattel is testing my will. They've just introduced a Barbie doll based on Tippi Hedren as Melanie Daniels, the heroine from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds."

She retails for $40, but I imagine she'll command much higher prices on eBay, eventually. As Barbie Collector notes, this bird-bait Barbie is "dressed in a re-creation of the stylish green skirt-suit worn by the film’s ill-fated heroine in an iconic scene."
