Happy happy birthday, Barbie!

Come on, let's go party!

Barbie is 60 years old as of March 8th, 2019.

According to Buzzfeed:

"The photo series is part of a campaign by Lumen to push back against ageism in the toy industry, and to celebrate the beauty of growing older."

"Many women say that in their fifties and sixties they've never felt more empowered in their own skin – and this should be reflected by influential icons like Barbie."
