Barbie lanza muñeca inspirada en Marilyn Monroe para celebrar los 100 años del nacimiento de la artista

Barbie lanzó una nueva muñeca inspirada en Marilyn Monroe en conmemoración de los 100 años del nacimiento de la emblemática actriz de Hollywood.

La figura pertenece a la línea Barbie Signature Series y se basa en una imagen de la película “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, estrenada en 1953, en la que Monroe luce un vestido rosado con un enorme moño en la parte posterior. Además del vestido, la muñeca porta guantes, calzado rosa y joyería de fantasía que emulan la indumentaria de la actriz en la película. La pieza incluye un certificado de autenticidad y un soporte para exhibirla.

Esta edición de Barbie representa un tributo de Mattel a Marilyn Monroe, cuyo centenario se conmemoró el pasado 1 de junio.

De acuerdo con un comunicado difundido por la compañía, la muñeca se confeccionó en colaboración con The State of Marilyn Monroe, entidad que administra la propiedad intelectual de la actriz.

La empresa también informó que, según Robert Best, vicepresidente de la Dirección Creativa de Diseño de Muñecas, esta nueva Barbie reconoce la trayectoria de un ícono que rompió barreras.

Esta no es la primera vez que Mattel lanza una muñeca Barbie inspirada en la artista. Entre 1997 y 2009, la compañía presentó una colección que rindió homenaje a algunos de sus principales papeles en el cine y a los vestuarios que lució a lo largo de su carrera.

Woman told House panel that Gomez sexually assaulted her, attorneys say

Washington — A woman told the House Ethics Committee that Rep. Jimmy Gomez sexually assaulted her, according to her attorneys, a claim that comes as the panel investigates sexual misconduct allegations against the California Democrat.The bipartisan committee said Monday that it's looking into allegations against Gomez, including that he engaged "in inappropriate sexual contact with a House staffer." Gomez acknowledged in a statement Monday that he "made personal mistakes outside my marriage" and that his "actions were consensual in nature." The attorneys for the unnamed woman pushed back on the assertion that Gomez's actions were consensual. "We represent one of the women who was interviewed by the House Committee on Ethics about her experience of sexual harassment and assault by Representative Jimmy Gomez. Contrary to Representative Gomez's assertion in his statement, his actions were not 'consensual in nature' with respect to our client. We fully expect that the House Committee on Ethics will come to the same conclusion in its investigation," said her attorneys, Lisa J. Banks and Sarah E. Nesbitt. CBS News has reached out to Gomez's office for comment on the allegations. Banks and Nesbitt did not identify their client, and CBS News has not verified her claims.In his statement earlier this week, Gomez said he was "ready to cooperate with the Ethics Committee inquiry and provide it with whatever information it might need." "Out of respect for my family and the ongoing process, I will have no further comment," he added. House Democratic leaders called the allegations "serious and disturbing." "We encourage the Committee to conduct a thorough and swift investigation," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar said in a statement Wednesday. In announcing the probe on Monday, the Ethics Committee said that "[n]o other public comment will be made on this matter except in accordance with Committee rules."The investigation comes as the House is poised to consider legislation to overhaul the chamber's ethics rules. The proposal would, among other things, ban lawmakers from having sexual relationships with any congressional staffers, not just those under their direct supervision.
