Hey,

Here is what we said about the history of Barbie and what the doll represents:
Barbie doll: Her biography
Barbie represents a role model for a lot of young girls. She is the symbol for the perfect woman who is gorgeous and always successful in both her career and private life. Of course, she confirms many stereotypes imposed on by society.
Many girls want to look like her. They have hundreds of dolls and thousands of accessories (shoes, cars, dream houses, ...).
Barbie was first created in March 1959 after Barbara Millicent Roberts, the daughter of the creator. In 1961, she married Ken to create the perfect family.
However, in 2004 she got divorced / split / ditched her lover and she is now single. In 2009, it was her 50th birthday and she still embodies perfection.
By the way, Nadia (our Barbie expert
), you were right about the name... and I was wrong...
you ARE definitely the BARBIE specialist ![]()
I hope that those who went to the play have enjoyed it. You'll have to tell me next time. See you soon.
Mr Hattais.
