When they started selling the legendary Barbies in 1959, only 2.1 euros had to be paid for them. However, times have changed drastically and the prices of these children's toys have skyrocketed.
Barbie is present almost everywhere. On bags, scarves, school supplies, t-shirts, etc., her next "victim" is famous pictures. They were placed there by Catherine Théry, who chose Barbie as her muse and placed her on the artistic map with reproductions of celebrated works of art such as The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci, The Picture of the Murdered Marat by Jacques-Louis David and The Scream by Edvard Munch.
In 2018, a film about Barbie is expected to hit the screens, but more than this news, the choice of the main actress who will play the film version of the doll with perfect proportions and always well-groomed hair is more exciting. We would expect Kate Hudson, Margot Robbie, Brit Robertson, Amanda Seyfried, Kaley Cocou, Scarlett Johansson and Kate Upton in this role. But Barbie will be none other than comedian Amy Schumer, who is far from meeting the modern idea of a perfect woman and often emphasizes that she is far from perfect and that she is not bothered about her figure. Do you think it's the right choice?
Photographer Claus Lucas, unlike other photographers, did not put classic models in front of his photographic lens, but rather live models were replaced by Barbies and Keni. And a series of erotic photos Sense of Guilt was created, which will make you feel as uncomfortable as watching a David Lynch movie.
After Borut Pahor became a real internet sensation with his posts on Instagram and foreign media also talked about the "Barbie" president, the Slovenian president also came on the radar of the world's largest toy manufacturer, Mattel, who decided to seize the opportunity and announced a special edition Ken that will resemble our president.
Mattel has announced that it will release 14 new Barbie dolls, but they will not be classic Barbies, but women who shaped history. With this, they want to pay tribute to the work, achievements and activism of women.
Barbie or Barbika, the most famous doll in the world, which was and still is part of the world of many girls around the world, has a surname. It was revealed in an official tweet and the internet went 'crazy'.
The unrealistic, perfect image of the dolls and their influence on the self-image of women still stirs up spirits - the toy industry creates proportionally shaped barbies, which affects the understanding of the beauty of girls all over the world from an early age. The perfect appearance has thus become an ideal that we all must achieve. Olga Kamenetskaya wants to change this illusion, so she removed the make-up from all the barbies. And what are they like now?
