New York Times Fashionさんのインスタグラム写真 - (New York Times FashionInstagram)「Practically everything in Barbie’s tiny plastic world bears her unmistakable signature. How? It’s all about the visuals. Barbie has a unified look that goes beyond the color pink. There’s her hair, her feet, her portfolio of properties and her fleet of automobiles. There are her impossible proportions, which would give her torso room for only half a liver. Perhaps her ultimate accessory is her boyfriend, Ken. According to Mattel, more than 100 Barbie dolls are sold every minute, and quite a few minutes have elapsed since Barbie made her debut, at a toy industry trade show, in 1959. Just as remarkable as the ways the doll has changed since then are the ways it hasn’t. Like the characters on “Sesame Street” or “South Park,” Barbie exists alongside us without quite aging with us — reflecting our times, but not our wrinkles. That adaptive consistency may play a role in maintaining her cultural ubiquity (alongside her literal ubiquity), for while the things that make Barbie Barbie may get a face lift every few years, her DNA remains unchanged.
