Bar-bee

babsGive that doll a brown hoodie!! Like the frisBEE, Babs is a fellow N.T.H.o.F. inductee; and she just reached a milestone birthday:

Barbie(R) Millicent Roberts was first introduced to the world in 1959 at the New York Toy Fair. She was named after her creator Ruth Handler's daughter Barbara.
...

Even so, Barbie(R) remains an enduring icon, who, at 50, has kept her youthful physique - even if plastic has had a part to play.
