I used to love collecting Barbies when I was younger, but my girls really didn't play with them much.  Do you know much about their history?
I like Barbie dolls too. I know the first Barbie was sold in 1959.
Wow, she's aging well then I would say!  
LOL. Ruth Handler got her inspiration from a German doll.
Oh, is that the person that created Barbie?
She is credited with creating Barbie based on Bild Llli- a German doll.
Interesting - is she still alive to see how far it's gone?  I imagine she never thought the dolls would be such an part of a young girls life.
Barbie is Mattel's most profitable doll.  Ruth passed away in 2002.
