It’s a Barbie Christmas! The iconic, 11-inch doll, named after Barbie inventor Ruth Handler’s daughter Barbara, made its debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York City on March 9, 1959, which makes Barbie one of the most beloved Pisces in pop culture (next to Rihanna). And given the Barbie movie’s box office takeover, it’s safe to say that Barbie season is carrying over into the holidays.
