Barbie : Remembrance of a Mile

Yeah! Almost 52 years have been completed for the word “Barbie”. That’s right! Not only the girls but also everyone’s most liked doll what the world called it as Barbie Doll. Such a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration.

I don’t know how many of us are well-known with this story about Barbie. Doctor, lawyer and killer flight attendant, Barbie has done it all in three inch heels and tiny skirts. But now, after almost fifty two years of controversy, Barbie has developed a new, thicker look. The original Barbie was designed on a scale of 1/6. This means the real life Barbie would have been 5’9.” The proportions of Barbie, however, were entirely unrealistic. She would have had a 36 inch bust and 18 inch waist. Her original weight of 110 pounds would make her at least 35 pounds underweight for her height.

Two years back they have celebrated 50 years completion of Barbie and I have seen an Indian Barbie Girl posing in Lakme Fashion Week. Yeah! She was most lovable “Katrina Kaif” – a Super Actress of Indian Film Industry.
