BARBIE DOLL DAY!!
The first Barbie Doll was put on sale, this day 1959.
This is what she looked like at birth>>>>>>>>>>
Creator Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara play with paper dolls and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles.
Ruth used a German doll named Bild Lilli as her inspiration and named the doll after her daughter.
I guess at this point it may be a good idea to thank Ruth for naming her daughter Barbara, imagine how much worse it could have been!! Her own mother's name was Ida, I leave the consequences to your imagination!! Her son's name was, surprise surprise, Ken!!
