After years of being promoting as the virginal girl next door, the limited edition Lingerie Barbie comes with sexy black or pink garters, silk stockings, stiletto heels and other saucy accessories.

``Barbie exudes a flirtatious attitude in her heavenly merry widow bustier ensemble accented with intricate lace and matching peek-aboo peignoir,' Mattel said.

``She is simply sassy in a short pearl-grey satin slip trimmed in black lace' and ``thigh-high stockings' that ``add a hint of flair'.

Mattel admits the new Barbie is a grown-up toy, and insists she is not about to replace the Barbies that little girls have played with for years.

Barbie made her debut in 1959 at the New York Toy Fair, and overnight became one of the most recognised toys in the world - a reputation maintained to this day.
