No matter what, Barbie IS a success!!!
Ruth Handler created Barbie in 1959, with pierving blue eyes and that platinum blonde hair, after her own daughter, Barbie. She also had a real son named Kenneth...hence, the Ken doll
Ruth got the idea for a Barbie during a trip to Germany
Her original plan was to create a teenage fashion model, and, over the years, Barbie's clothes took the center spotlight.
Over the years, in 1960s novels, we discovered that her name was Barbie Millicent Roberts, and her father was George and her mother Margaret. Also, Barbie had over 40 pets, including horse, a panda, a lion cub and a zebra. Many girls had a toy pink Corvette, even horse trailers and jeeps. Did you know that Barbie even had a pilot's license?
Ask any grown-up former Barbie lover for tons of additional trivia about the famous blonde doll!
Oh, also ask how many "girls" still have a Barbie or three at home somewhere! AND how many of those Barbie's still have ALL of the hair intact?
ALSO, did your bro ever slip over and play with your Barbies? (Good for him!)....and which one was your absolute FAVE Barbie? Better yet, how many of you coeds openly liked playing with the GI-Joe's?
Barbie TATOOS?...the latest, but they're actually those paper "wet transfers" billions of us, as kids, used!
