If u watch that "The Toys That Made Us" Barbie ep it's not as boring as you'd think. Apparently the doll originally came from the idea of a doll of a comic character who was a hooker.
Oh and one of the original things Barbie came with was a tiny book that said "how to lose weight" on the front. And on the back of it...it said "don't eat". Lol. Dayum, burn.
