Presidential Candidate Barbie

Presidential Candidate Barbie - Future Leader

Did Mattel know something we didn't know before President Biden's nomination of Vice-President Kamala Harris for the 2024 Democratic presidential candidacy? Probably not, because there have been Barbie for President dolls as far back as I can remember, but after the announcement of Vice-President Kamala Harris's presidential candidacy, I wanted a doll to represent her. 

Presidential Candidate Barbies with tan and brown complexions are seen in an Internet-captured photo.

Presidential Candidate Barbie Future Leader with a tan/light brown complexion is the doll I chose. This doll better represents VP Kamala Harris's African American/South Asian ethnicity. This doll's reddish-brown auburn hair color is a closer match for Harris's brown hair.

My Candidate Kamala Barbie has light brown eyes, auburn-rooted straight hair with a middle part, and a smiling mouth with painted teeth area. The doll is dressed conservatively in a one-piece dress with a pink and white tweed-patterned top with an attached black pencil skirt. She wears black high-heel shoes and a yellow/gold bangle bracelet. I removed the yellow/gold letter B that was on the top left of the bodice. I added a pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings.

After unboxing the doll, I made and added pearl stud earrings and a pearl necklace.

A straight pin threaded through a single pearl with the tip of the straight pin inserted into the doll's earlobe in an upward-slanted direction created each earring. Several individual pearls the same size as the stud pearls were threaded onto a double strand of white thread and tied onto the doll's neck. The knotted thread in the necklace was secured with glue. 

A lovely image of the Kamala Barbie Presidential Candidate doll is on the back of the box. The descriptive text reads:

Leadership is an important trait kids can learn at an early age. True leaders understand how to inspire and motivate others to reach their goals.

Presidential Candidates encourage all to be resilient, work as a team, and use problem-solving skills to help break boundaries and reach their limitless potential.

Do you like advocating for change and leading by example? You Can Be a Presidential Candidate!

Other Career Barbies include Make-up Artist, Rhythmic Gymnast, Scientist, Figure Skater, Violinist, Doctor, Pastry Chef, and Photographer.

Go Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, American democracy needs you; Americans need your leadership and forward-thinking stance on "freedom, opportunity, and security!" (The last three words are from a statement by Harris for President Spokesperson James Singer.)

My Candidate Kamala Harris for President Barbie for the win!
