It's Barbie's 50th birthday! To celebrate, Mattel held a Barbie-themed (read: very pink) shindig in her honor at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. The only thing that made it different from a party at the Playboy mansion was ... well, I'll have to get back to you on that one.
The party unfortunately coincided with reports of Barbie's sales dropping 21% in the fourth quarter. As we all know, this is no economic climate for fun and games - which is why Mattel's newest Barbie has been made over as "more grown-up and understated." I can't help but think: is this "Cougar Barbie"?
Reuters tried their hand at humor by suggesting that "perhaps, 'Austerity Barbie' is not too far off." I find their attempt endearing, but this guy's Barbie jokes are way funnier.
