Barbie is getting a makeover
Script en anglais
A celebrity known y her first name and pushing 60 goes public about plastic surgery. It's not the kind of story we usually report around here, but we have to make an exception for Barbie. Here's Mariah.
The times may have changed but Barbie has changed little with the times. In recent years the iconic Mattel dolls have remained on the shelves. Barbie sales have now declined eight straight quarters. Mattel's Evelyn Mazoko cites one possible reason. "We were hearing that you know many thought that Barbie was out of touch". That typically blonde hair blue-eyed all with unrealistic proportions is getting a reality check. Mattel recently introduced 23 new dolls with different skin tones and hair colors. And today three new body types curvy tall and petite. Mattel took the new Barbies for a test run with a group of four and five-year-olds. "They don't look like Barbie. They don't look like Barbie?" But what they noticed most were the different shapes and sizes. I'm glad because we all got to look like like we got to pick our Barbies that look like us". The next step for Mattel is getting parents to buy it.
