Happy 51st Birthday Barbie!


Happy birthday to the toy world's favorite blonde and Jane-of-all-trades! Since her 1959 debut as a teenage fashion model, Barbie has held more than 80 careers ranging from rock star to paleontologist to Olympic athlete. She has represented 45 different nationalities and now ranks as "The Most Collectible Doll in the World," raking in $1.5 billion each year. On top of all that, she's 51 and doesn't look a day over 18. How does she do it?


I have so many wonderful memories with Barbie and Ken...and all the kids. I had a barbie costom camper and a table in our front room with a beautiful home for Barbie and her family. I was very creative when it came to barbie furniture and made all sorts of stuff out of who knows what. I hand sewed lots of clothes for her. I spent hours with friends playing Barbies.
I loved it when my girls started asking for Barbies and they had the cutest barbie house with all the trimmings. They had the furniture, the cars...the whole sha-bang!
Happy Birthday Barbie.....I'm right behind you!

Barbie is one thing that has been around for years that all the girls in the world have in common. I just love her! I'm glad she's still around!

It's amazing that feel good feeling you get even as an adult looking at Barbie. I have so many memories of that special gal myself. I love that it gives 99% of women something in common. So cool! Happy Birthday B!
