The Timelessness of Barbie *Giveaway*

Posted by Caryn Bailey 107 Comments

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Donna L. Congrats!

Growing up as an only child, I engaged in many hours of pretend play. I specifically remember my set of Barbie dolls, complete with outfits, a house, and Ken to match.  My husband teases me because I had our daugther’s name picked out when I was just a young girl, playing house with Barbie and Ken.  To this day, Barbie is still treasured by little girls all over the country.  And while there have been many attempts to create similar dolls, Barbie still lives on.

Since I love learning new facts, I read up a bit on the history of Barbie.  Along with learning her full name (it’s Barbra Millicent Roberts) I found out that Barbie’s careers (she’s had 125 of them) are integral to her identity and designed to show that women can take on many different roles.  Barbie has “worked” as a TV chef, nurse, ambassador for world peace, and most recently, a computer engineer (selected by popular vote).  Given that we’re highly dependent on technology, her career is very fitting.

Computer Engineer Barbie is “dressed perfectly geek-chic complete with hot pink accessories (cell phone and laptop) and sleek gadgets to match.” The set comes with a special code that unlocks career-themed content online for more digital play.   Barbie I Can Be is a line of dolls and accessories that empower girls to “try on” any career they can dream of.

Barbie turned 50 last year, and yet she still looks very much like she did in the 50’s.  As a mom, I appreciate the positive message she conveys…”if a girl can dream it, she can be it.” For more information or to see Mattel’s complete line of Barbie dolls, just visit the website. You can also keep up with Barbie on Twitter and Facebook.

Win It! One of you will win a Computer Engineer Barbie. Simply leave me a comment with another doll you’d like to own from the site. Comments will close on January 5th, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.   US Residents only.  Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn.
