Barbie: fabulous at 50

Dear Barbie, every little girl's favorite blonde, you're turning 50 today.

Having reached the half-century mark, we bet you have a lot of insight and advice to share with your former BFFs about what we can expect in our second half century.
Maybe it's time to linger once again in the pleasurable moments we all spent gazing into your blue eyes, combing through your ever-so-perfect blonde hair (don't you ever wake up to a bad-hair day? nah!) and wishing we'd become like you, body-wise, once we grew up. Well... that didn't happen. But this little fact won't take away from the cherished, fond memories we have of you.

There must be something really special about you, Barbie, if after 50 years you're still at the top of the gift lists of all the little girls all around the world, and you're also a collectible item, nowadays.

Tell us, Barbie, what's your secret? Any skincare advice? Because you don't look one day older than 29!

we like it because: eventhough through the years she has been accused of being too beautiful and therefore lowering women's self-esteem, she still smiles back at us whenever we look at her. If that doesn't make a good friend, we don't know what does. ;)
