About Barbie

Barbie’s first appearance in toy stores was in 1959. The Barbie doll was and is produced by Mattel, Inc. Ruth Handler was the creator of Barbie. Her inspiration came from a German doll known as Bild Lilli. Barbie has been the most successful doll on the market for the last 50 years, despite competition from Bratz or even Cabbage Patch Kids. The first Barbie doll was dressed in a black and white zebra swimsuit with a top knot ponytail. The doll was available as blonde or brunette. Barbie also has a few other friends to go along with the dolls, most notably Ken. Over the years the dolls have been based on careers such as art teacher, Spanish teacher, dentist, US Army, and flight attendant. Most of Barbie’s outfits extend from an actual company as there is even a See’s Candy cashier as well as a McDonald’s cashier.
