Since we were in nappies, she has been a dear friend to us. She inspired us to grow up to be just as beautiful and glamorous as she is, with a fab wardrobe and hot boyfriend to boot. Every girl’s favorite gal pal, Barbie, turns 50 this year!
Barbie is well-loved not just by kids, but by big girls, too. Many girls have brought their love for the blonde-haired doll well into adulthood. These collectors scramble to get hold of vintage Barbies, never mind if it burns a hole through their pockets. They’ve formed clubs, published magazines, and built websites, all in the name of this doll!
Everyone who has owned at least one Barbie knows that she is the real queen of reinvention. She has been a bride, an astronaut, a WNBA player, Sandy in Grease, and even a Filipina (remember those dusky dolls in baro’t saya?). As Barbie turns 50, she is reincarnated once more, and in grand style. The 50th Anniversary Barbie Doll is all big-haired glamour, with a luxurious dress made of lace and gold.
