Barbie Millicent Roberts made her debut in March, 1959. and girls, let me tell you, the world has not been the same since. This was the look we all aspired to--and maybe still do. Despite her ideal figure, and rumors of a lesbian relationship with Midge--just like in the film, "Carol," darlings!!!!!!!--Barbie was a good girl!!!!!!!!!!! And she made us all want to be good girls!!!!!!!!!!!
She brought the importance of clothes into our lives, Future Anna Wintour aspirants cut their fashion teeth on dressing up Barbie. Where would ANNA and her empire be, were it not for Barbie?????????????????
Just think, Barbie turns 60, next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has that number ever looked so good?
Times may change, but if glamour is to stay in some form---and, please God, it MUST!!!!!!!!!!!--so must Barbie remain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's have a doll's tea party with Barbie in her best tea party dress, serving cakes and dainties to all my girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Long live Barbie! May she continue to guide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
