What is barbie on?

Barbie is a fashion doll created by American businesswoman Ruth Handler and launched by the American toy company Mattel, Inc. in 1959. She is one of the best-selling toys of all time and has become a cultural icon.

Barbie has had a wide range of careers and roles over the years, including astronaut, doctor, president, and fashion model, among others. She continues to be a popular toy for children and collectors alike.

Barbie has also been the subject of controversy and criticism, particularly due to her unrealistic body proportions and perceived reinforcement of gender stereotypes. In recent years, Mattel has made efforts to diversify the Barbie doll line, introducing dolls with different body types, skin tones, and abilities.

Despite the criticism, Barbie remains a beloved and iconic figure in popular culture, with a strong global fan base and extensive merchandise and media tie-ins.
