The Blonds Blond Diamond Barbie Doll is not officially a cross-dresser, but was created by designer Phillipe Blond, who is a cross-dresser himself reports the Daily Mail.
In an interview with the New York Times , Cathy Cline, vice president of market for Mattel's girls' brands said that 'One of the great things about Barbie is that she continues to push the envelope. Barnie doesn't worry about what other people think."
