Barbie, 1959 was born, almost 50 years old. She outlived the once popular cabbage dolls and teddy bears. No one knows why, even her creator Ruth Handler can't explain it. /kloc-When she was 0/9 years old, Ruth came to Hollywood to study industrial design alone. She met Handler at school and soon married him. 1942, the husband and wife set up martel company in a garage, and their good business conditions gave Ruth Handler a chance to travel to Europe. In Switzerland, she found a doll named "Blonde Lily" made in Germany (it is said that the prototype is a stripper). Her figure is impeccable, with all kinds of signs, and her dress is also "exposed", which seems to be specially designed to arouse boys' desires. Ruth Handler's daughter's name is Barbara, and her daughter's choice of toys is also the inspiration for her invention. Ruth couldn't help but design her American version. She gave her American doll the nickname of her daughter. Nowadays, Barbie has gone beyond the definition of toys and become an immortal commodity symbol.
