Barbie Turns 50 Monday

Item: Barbie at 50: Iconic doll has lived a full life, and she’s still going strong /Kathy Flanigan, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

More Info: Little girls worship her; adult women want to be her. Iconic fashion model and doll Barbie turns 50 on Monday. So does that make her over the hill? Before you answer, consider this: She still has the supple skin of a teenager, the idealized body of a woman in her 20s and no crow’s feet to be found. To this day, Barbie wears the smallest of sizes. Then again, she’s sporting more plastic than one of “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”

Question: If Barbie were 5 feet 6 inches tall, she would have a 39-inch bust, a 21-inch waist and 33-inch hips. How realistic is that?
