Barbie’s hot new return may have brought a shortage of pink paint, but there’s also a rising sense of nostalgia and recognition of her evolution through the years.
Why is Barbie The Movie and all things Barbie making such a powerful comeback?
Nostalgia.
Barbie brings back memories of a simpler time for many of us. Hours of playing pretend, not as a mother to baby dolls, but inviting us to pretend we were adults doing adult things with our adult friends. A different kind of imagination. Barbie was an independent woman.
Since her debut in March of 1959 Barbie has brought both positive and negative reactions through the years. She’s been a hot topic between mothers, within the feminist movement, and in childcare settings.
My mission with Perfectly Imperfect is to help other see the light in themselves. This means embracing body positivity and supporting women to love the light within themselves over the desire to be light by way of the scale. In a world that has changed so much Barbie’s introduction, her long-standing success and influence is fascinating.
Any way you look at it, Barbie is a powerhouse. Yes, Mattel is the marketing powerhouse, but BARBIE is the complex icon that has provided hours of play to many children, hours of sewing to many mothers, and many conversations about her messages and impact. She has evolved with the times and will likely continue to. For many of us Barbie will always have a special place in our hearts. Whether you’re a Barbie lover or loather, she’s here to stay.
Are you a Barbie girl? What significance, if any, has Barbie had in your life? Perhaps revisit some memories or consider what messages you think she sends. Barbie is everywhere right now, so rather than running from it, let her be a beacon for your own reflection and spark conversation.
