Today is Barbie Day. Even though Barbie is not the best role model for little girls with her ridiculously unrealistic figure and feet in a constant high-heel-wearing formation, I can't help it--I love Barbie!
I used to play with Barbies all day long. I can remember getting backaches from sitting cross-legged on the floor of my bedroom all afternoon playing with Barbies. I still have some of my old Barbies (and Barbie townhouse!) in my basement, just waiting for my 15-month-old daughter to be old enough to play with them.
Here are a few fun links relating to our old friend, Barbie Roberts (yes, that's her last name!):
Barbie Makes Her Debut
Barbie's Wikipedia Entry (includes her biography and fun controversies!)
Collector Barbies
How to Transform Yourself into Barbie (very creepy and cool!)
1959 - First Barbie commercial ever aired on TV
Enjoy!
