The world's most famous blonde turned 50 this month. No, we don't mean Pamela Anderson, rather an equally plastic bombshell, Barbara Millicent Roberts— aka Barbie.
Her name may have become synonymous with less-than-bright women, but Barbie is no airhead. In fact, she's quite the business success story. Over her five decades, the leggy lady has been sold in more than 150 countries and Mattel, the manufacturer, claim a model is sold every three seconds. Now that's a lot of happy little girls.
Barbie's eye-catching get-ups may have changed over the years (did you dress as peaches 'n' cream or love hearts at parties?) but some things in her world never change. Namely, her ageless face and body.
Babs is without doubt the most spritely-looking 50-year-old around — not a line nor age spot in sight. Botox? Perhaps. Facelift? Maybe. Or perhaps the side effect of a blissful dollhouse life with the equally ageless Ken…
To celebrate this landmark, beauty brand Stila have created a suitably girly Barbie line featuring four colourful "Decades of Beauty" paint cans packed with pretty products to help you recreate some of the beautiful blonde's most covetable looks.
We love the Fox Doll (1980s) option. It packs a punch for a night out and may just help us find our own Ken…
Stila's Decades of Beauty Cans are available exclusively at Mecca Cosmetica. Call 1800 007 844 for details of stockists or order online at www.meccacosmetica.com.au.
