TIM & FAITH BARBIE DOLLS









They are adorable! Mattel is adding Tim & Faith Barbie Dolls to their collection of country Barbies (Taylor, Martina, Reba and LeAnn also have dolls in their image). They are a set - and priced at $69.95. I love that "Tim" has a scruffy beard! And there's accessories! (Not that you would even think of taking them out of the box and playing with them!)

BLAKE SINGS "FOOTLOOSE"
