We received this cool news just now that Barbie was given a major makeover by wearing a burkha!  The Barbie Burka’s are up for auction for the benefit of Save The Children Foundation. Here’s an official statement from the concerned organization:

Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves.-www.savethechildren.org

The Burka Barbie’s were among the 500 Barbie Doll collections showcased in Salone dei Cinquecento,  Florence, Italy. Surely, Barbie collectors would do everything just to get this rare item!
