#36: Say Cheese!
Almost every little girl has played with a Barbie doll growing up, but if you played with a Barbie as a kid and your daughter played with a Barbie as a kid 30 years later, chances are these dolls looked pretty different from one another. Barbie has gone through a lot of changes since it was first introduced in 1959 by the toy company Mattel.
Did you know that the original Barbie doll didn’t have a smile on her face? Most of us are familiar with a blonde Barbie with a sweet smile, but that isn’t the original doll. She did have wavy blonde hair, but she didn’t have that pink-lipped smile most of us are familiar with and it kind of looked like she was pouting. The smile was added later during the evolution of Barbie.
