You wouldn't believe it, but Barbie is turning 50! From the 26th June to the 12th July Melbourne is hosting Barbie's 50th Birthday Party with the Forever Barbie exhibition at Fed Square. She has to be the ‘perfect' role model for every woman, seemingly not aging a day since 1959 (when she was first created). 100% plastic Barbie has been strutting her stuff all over the world ever since she left school. Male or female, she has certainly made some sort of an impact on everyone's childhood, whether it be cutting all her hair off or wheeling her around in her hot pink corvette convertible! Almost everyone admires her perfectly proportioned body and her partner, Ken's carefully sculptured face and abs. This small town girl from Willows, Wisconsin, has travelled to over 150 countries world wide, had over 40 pets including a panda, lion cub and a zebra, owned a range of different vehicles, has had a song written about her and even holds a pilots license. Take a walk through Barbie's very accomplished past and be inspired by this fictional dolls life.
