As Mattel unveil a fresher, more natural-looking face for Barbie, I wonder what real 50 year old women look this good...Madonna? No. Sharon Stone? Not quite.
Strands of grey hair, a few wrinkles and menopause and I think you have a closer description. Women of this age would hate me if they read only this but actually I think it'd give older women a fashion icon, as well as keeping the younger version. Becuase don't get me wrong, many women at this age look a whole lot younger than they are and personally I don't think 50 is old...it's MIDDLE age after all.
A lot of people would probably question the point of an 'older' doll but then you could question, what is the point of dolls at all...because children can enjoy them and even look at them as icons as they have developed so much, even having Barbie run for US president.
After all, celebrations are going on around the world as five decades have gone by and Barbie is still the most popular doll on the planet. Barbie – inspired outfits have even been created for the catwalk by 50 renowned fashion designers including Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, shocking.
This might mean that this summers' fashion must-haves could be based on the outfits of a 50 year old doll I used to play with 12 years ago. On the positive side..at least Barbie doesn't have to pay for surgery to look that good!
