i'm a barbie girl

I'm actually not. But - Barbie is 50 years old today...and she doesn't look a day over 18.

I only knew this because she kept showing up in my magazines - it's fascinating how popular this disproportionate doll is.

For the big 5-0, there are several stores that are selling limited-edition Barbie merchandise. Bloomingdale's and Fred Segal has apparel and accessories, and Stila teamed up with Barbie to make a special set of makeup.

So, Happy Birthday Barbie. Maybe you'll actually look 50 when you turn 100. But I doubt it.
