Barbie became more than just a movie based on one of America's most emblematic pieces of intellectual property. Maybe it kicked off in the wake of oh-so-many memes, or in being pit against another highly-anticipated movie deemed its aesthetic and ideological opposite in a silly box office showdown. Then again, nearly every retailer catering to femmes has jumped on this bandwagon, too, either directly or indirectly. (My inbox and Insta feed are currently flooded with weeks' worth of shameless promos for blazing hot pink and fluorescent items I'll never wear; even my local barre studio is getting in on the action with a forthcoming Barbie-themed class.)

Handed out Barbies at work for years. Criteria was being able excel at multi-tasking (i.e,. Barbie can do anything). And after that ran it's course, Gumby's for being flexible, wiffle balls for getting product yield into the strike zone, etc., etc. Alas, Palo Alto's Barbie Doll Hall of Fame is no more. New owner bought the building; however, props to Mattel for purchasing and giving the extensive collection a new home.
