One Of A Kind Nicki Minaj Barbie Will Be Auctioned Off For Charity: Bidding Starts At $1,000

Nicki Minaj is teaming up with Mattell to create her very own, one-of-a-kind Barbie doll to be sold in an auction for charity.

The Minaj-edition Barbie, complete with pink hair, sky-high go-go boots and an enormous tutu-like skirt, is a spitting plastic image of the pop star, whose blond wigs and pink getups have prompted devoted fans to refer to themselves as Barbies.

The one-time doll will be up for grabs Wednesday on CharityBuzz.com and will be featured at the five-day Divine Design event and gala at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, Billboard reports.

Online bidding for the Barbie starts at a whopping $1,000 and will run through Dec. 19.

All proceeds from the sale will go to Project Angel Food, a nonprofit that provides meals for women, men and children affected by HIV/AIDS.
