National Barbie Day

A Barbie doll is a fashion doll made by the American toy company Mattel. The first Barbie doll was introduced in March 1959 and has since become one of the most popular and recognizable toys in the world. Barbie dolls are typically around 11 inches tall and have a slim, curvy figure, long hair, and various styles of clothing and accessories. They are marketed primarily to young girls as a fun and creative toy that encourages imaginative play, but they have also been criticized by some for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and gender roles. Despite this, Barbie remains a highly popular and iconic toy, with numerous spinoff products and media tie-ins.
