look a day over 20, Barbie, Mattel's wasp-waisted 11\" fashionista, turns 50 today (09 March 2009).\u003cbr/\u003eCreated in 1959 by Ruth Handler, the co-founder of the toy company Mattel, Barbie was first introduced at the New York toy fair where she was greeted with little enthusiasm.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the late 50's, Barbie represented a fashion doll which was much different than the typical baby dolls of the day. \u003cbr/\u003eStephanie Cota, the senior vice president of Barbie marketing, says \"Barbie was not necessarily met with the most resounding of successes, it was a bit of a hard sell for Ruth at the time.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBut after advertising the doll on television, Handler's Barbie became an instant hit.\u003cbr/\u003eIn celebration of the 50th birthday, Mattel has created a special edition doll, who like the original doll, is dressed in a white and black striped swimsuit.\u003cbr/\u003eBarbie's look is created and updated at the Mattel design centre in Los Angeles. \u003cbr/\u003eOver 100 people are needed to make a single Barbie doll, complete with a signature \"look.\" \u003cbr/\u003eEvelyn Viohl, the senior vice president of design for Barbie, says \"Barbie's truly all about the details.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe 11.5 inch doll has 13 different colours of skin tone and 58 shades of hair colour.\u003cbr/\u003eThe strands of Barbie's hair are implanted using a special \"rooting\" machine, then each head is individually styled. \u003cbr/\u003eAnd it takes technicians up to three hours to apply Barbie's makeup.\u003cbr/\u003eRobert Best, a principle designer at Barbie Collector, says compared to real fashion models, Barbie is a dream to work with.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I get the best parts of the job which is the creative and the fun and I work with a client who never gives me grief,\" said Best.\u003cbr/\u003eStephanie Cota, of Barbie marketing, said throughout her 50 years, Barbie has always reflected current trends.\u003cbr/\u003e\"If you go through every single decade from the 50s, all the way up to the 2000's, and you look at any given Barbie doll from that decade or from that era, she has always been a perfect reflection of culture and of fashion,\"\u003cbr/\u003eIndeed Barbie has had over 108 careers since her debut including astronaut, rock star, and presidential candidate.\u003cbr/\u003eBarbie's birthday bash is Monday night, March 9th, where celebs will gather in Malibu to celebrate the doll's half-century milestone.\u003cbr/\u003eKeyword wacky\u003cbr/\u003eThis story not on tape\u003cbr/\u003eLos Angeles, CA - March 3, 2009

But she persevered and with her passion and with her hunch, we have the Barbie brand that's here today, that is really an aspiration for girls of all ages.\"\u003cbr/\u003e6.

And then we have hair rooting machines here that allow for designers to create their own looks and their own cuts and styles, so that to me is the best part of the design process because you can see the transformation of a plain doll to something that is very highly detailed and very fashion forward.\"\u003cbr/\u003e12.
