Barbie - Island Princess launch at the Zoo
The new Island Princess Barbie was launched at a fantastic event last weekend and several celebrity mums attended.
Johannesburg Zoo was the venue for the event on Saturday 13th October 2007 – and there was tons of excitement and wide-eyed girls waiting in anticipation for a glimpse of the special guest – Island Princess Barbie!
With all the proceeds going to the zoo, there was a buzz of excitement; while Barbie fans waited in line for autographs from Island Princess Barbie herself, others sat back and enjoyed a preview of the new Island Princess DVD.
Young girls got the chance to have their make up done, or have their faces painted.
Entertainment was unlimited – there were treasure hunts and special performances by the winners of the Barbie “You're a Star” competitions!
Amongst the crowds – more than 6,000 people attended - celebrity moms, Christina Storm and Amy Kleinhans were seen supporting the event with their daughters in tow.
Miss Teen SA, Zizo Beda also gave her time to this worthwhile cause and attended as a special guest.
