Today we are wishing a very happy birthday to Barbie™! Barbie™ is arguably one of the most iconic toys in history. She was unveiled at the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959 and has been an inspiration ever since.
Over the years Barbie™ has had more than 200 careers and new friends have been added along the way. In 2016 Mattel introduced Barbie Fashionistas, a new collection of dolls to better represent the modern woman. This line of dolls came in four body types, seven skin tones, 22 eye colors, and 24 hairstyles.
