Okay, here's a 100-percent-off-topic-for-no-reason-whatsoever post, just because this struck me as being pretty darn funny.... Recently came across this advert for a Tippi Hendren in "The Birds" doll, and it just cracked me up. I've always enjoyed that Hitchcock film---have seen it quite a few times---and this really does look like Tippi! (Original article can be found here ---some rather amusing comments follow.)

Girls Everywhere Clamor For Uplifting 'Pecked to Within an Inch of Her Life' Barbie

This Barbie is for The Birds! Actually, this Barbie from The Birds is for you! Celebrating Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, this incredible collector's doll features our heroine being attacked by a trio of fine feathered foes, just like in the movie. Will these plastic birds damage her delightful handbag or her carefully styled hair? We certainly hope not! Be sure to let Barbie into your home and pray that the birds don't come in with her!

Modeled after the ritually abused Hitchcock blonde Tippi Hedren, the figurine features real fake birds and a high-quality head that looks scared and has awesome hair!
