Two Institutions -- Tony Bennett signing "I Left My Heart in San Fransico" and See's Candies, a San Franisco company. Somewhat rare "I Left My Heart in San Franisco" Barbie Doll all decked and ready to tour San Francisco carrying her See's Candy Bag. Little has changed over the decades since Charles A. See, a pharmacist turned chocolate salesman, founded See's Candies in 1921. Barbie doll's ensemble takes you back in time as well, to an era of elegance when details were everything. Her chic satiny jacket cinched at the waist tops the full, long skirt for the look of the decade. A fabulous faux fur hat with its sophisticated netting is perched on her head. Her hair is smoothed into a stylish chignon. And, of course, the cuffs at her delicate wrists match her hat. Gloves, handbag, and gold tone jewelry. She is impeccably dressed, perfect for a visit to the beautiful City by the Bay with its hills, cable cars, and a song that sings its praises. This limited-edition Barbie is the product of brainstorming by San Francisco's image-makers at the visitors bureau and top executives at the $4.7 billion-per-year Mattel Corp. and South San Francisco's See's Candies. One of the world's top destinations, San Francisco gets showered with nearly continuous publicity within the travel world. Still, the visitors bureau is always coming up with its next packageable attention-grabber, from embossed San Francisco pens to "I Love San Francisco" plush toys. The Doll Mint in the box.
