PEOPLE, Page 60After This, No More BirthdaysBy Howard G. Chua-Eoan
Thirty may be the last birthday BARBIE will ever want to
celebrate. So she's treating herself to a wardrobe by famous
designers, including a cascading fantasy gown by Paris-based
American designer and button maniac PATRICK KELLY. "I wanted to
make it like ERTE'S mermaid dress," says Kelly. "He's one of my
heroes, and that's the image most men have of sexy women in the
world." He adds, "Barbie was a big trip in my mind. When I was
growing up, all the girls in my neighborhood were so happy when
they got their first black Barbie." Now 30-something himself, Kelly
has two Barbies in his collection of 6,000 black dolls. "Thirty!"
he mused. "She's not a baby anymore." She never was.
