Golden Anniversaries are Pretty

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, nothing is sexier than timeless romance. And what's better than Barbie and Motown? Okay, we know they're not exactly a couple, but their not segregated either. We think Barbie's youthful flair coupled with Motown's classic jams brings nothing but smiles to nostalgic faces. It's hard to believe that both have been around for fifty years (i.e. Golden Ann.) and that makes us think of all the changes that have gone on in our vast land.

Although, what wont change are those hits that keep getting replayed and inspire new generations. So, we are urging our Pretty guys to put down the Lil' Wayne and pick up some classic tunes. Conveniently, Hallmark put together the best of Motown on CD to honor the music's 50th anniversary. The appropriately titled HEART & SOUL, is available in Hallmark Gold Crown stores for $7.95 with the purchase of three cards.

Here's the full track list:

“Stop! In the Name of Love!” / The Supremes / 1965

“(Love is Like a) Heat Wave” / Martha & the Vandellas / 1963

“I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)” / The Four Tops / 1965

“My Girl” / The Temptations / 1964

“Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing” / Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell / 1968

“Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours” / Stevie Wonder / 1970

“My Guy” / Mary Wells / 1964

“Love Machine” / The Miracles / 1975

“Brick House” / The Commodores / 1977

“Endless Love” / Lionel Richie & Diana Ross / 1981

We're sure you'll remember most of those hits - a lot were Grammy nominated.


Our Golden Anniversary party wouldn't be complete without some GLAM! We're excited to announce that you can bring out your inner Foxy Cleopatra with the Barbie Loves Stila Paint Can in 'Foxy Doll'. The palette contains eyeshadows, cheek powder, and sheer tangerine lip glaze so you can create your own iconic look with one kit. Available for $40 from Sephora.

We think these classy hues are the perfect way to celebrate Motown and Barbie! Yay for fifty and looking hot when you dance to "Brick House"!
