Happy Birthday Barbie®!

Everybody's favorite blonde turns 52 today!  In honor of her big day, we thought we would take a stroll down memory lane with Babs...

52 years ago, Barbie ® came into our lives...and boy has she been busy ever since!
The Beginning
Brunette Barbie looks eerily similar to Debi Mazar...no?
She lived in pre-historic times
Was attacked by "The Birds"
She was the Good Girl, Sandy, at Rydell High
And her own Arch Nemesis, Cha-Cha!
Wicked Witch of the West...
And of the East!
and...wore a slutty Dorothy Halloween costume?
   
Mr. Christian Louboutin even personally outfitted her with a pair of stilettos!






My personal favorite Barbie growing up was Peaches and Cream Barbie.  I had no idea what her title meant...and I still don't, but she is my ultimate fave!

The King Collective attended Barbie's 50th Birthday Runway Show...here is the finale!


But, after seeing the fantastic life Barbie has led...what in the world happened to poor Ken???
