Elvis and Priscilla Barbie Dolls available

Now, this is a collector Barbie I can get behind. Forget the trashy looking comic book hero Black Canary, Mattel's newest collector dolls have a sweet and innocent air about them. Available for the first time ever, the new dolls depict Priscilla Beaulieu and Elvis Presley on the day of their 1967 wedding in Las Vegas.

The details are good - from Priscilla's heavily made up eyes and her bouffant hair to Elvis' sexy sneer and shiny pompadour. Priscilla even looks like she might be pregnant under that satin gown - a condition many suspected she was hiding at the time of her marriage.

The release of the dolls is no doubt timed to coincide with the upcoming anniversary of Elvis' death. August 16 marks 31 years since his untimely passing and for those of us who loved him, it is a sad reminder of what could have been.

Recommended for ages 6 and up, the dolls are available at Wal-Mart and Shop Elvis for about $60. At that price, there is no way I'm letting my seven-year-old get her hands on them.
