Barbie's Birthday? July 24, 1952
Are you plastic, old fashioned or chauvinist? Well, minus the plastic I'd guess you'd be nothing like barbie, unless you are the Mad Men Barbies. She's been fat, skinny, skinner and held over 80 jobs in her 50+ year toy industry rein. Versatility matters in any industry just as much as innovation and imagination. What's next for your industry and are you any where near the forefront or just trying to catch up all the time?

Ha- the Mad Men Barbies are outstanding. A bit concerning if the kids pick up on Don's "style" too young but it is an interesting move for the Barbie brand. Because of the similar era (as mentioned in the article) between the original Barbie and the show it's logical but the moral differences between a show like Made Men and the traditional, aspirational Barbie is very striking. Will be interesting to see how these go over with traditional collectors who, intuitively, must appreciate the existing Barbie persona.
