Sony is making a live-action Barbie film 'which will try to take a contemporary spin on beauty, feminism and identity,' and Amy Schumer will star in the production.
Barbie can't help but looking perfect. She's manufactured that way.
But what if the doll that has been setting unrealistically high beauty standards for girls since 1959 was a real person? (Yes, this is has been tried before by human Barbie impersonators, but that's not where we're going here.)
September 6th is Barbie Doll Day. This isn't something I can speak on so much, but my wife collects Barbies, to an extent. She collects the Barbies she used to have as a child. Do you still have any Barbies?
Barbie, that lovely yet absurdly, uh, generously proportioned princess of the doll kingdom, was introduced to the world on March 9th, 1959. She has sparked imaginations for more than 50 years, so of course she gets her own day.
