Hey there princess!
In March of 1959, the face of America changed forever when Barbie stepped out onto the scene. Today, she is the figurehead of Mattel, and has been the leader of the toy industry for over fifty years.
Barbie was created by Ruth Handler, who's daughter, Barbara had grown tired of playing with her baby dolls and wanted a "grown-up" toy to play with. Since that fateful day, Barbie has taken on thousands of roles, from stewardess to princess. Her ability to transform is limited only by your imagination, and her wardrobe is just as boundless.
Be like Barbie:
- Never stop smiling.
- Know that you can truly be anything you want to be.
- When in doubt, add glitter.
- Don't be afraid to try new things.
- Get yourself a hunky Ken to cuddle with in the Dream House.
