When everyone else is gearing up for the holidays these guys are gearing up for a Barbie Beauty Contest. Each contest along the road will lead some lucky Barbie to the Miss Universe contest. The one hosted recently was in Venezuela. These guys spend hours, days, and money to create a perfect Barbie that might win the title.
Each of these Barbie’s have their own name, profession, and skill set that they use to impress the judges. The dolls all go through the same prep that real contestants do hair, make-up, nails, and attire.
Other than titles there really isn’t a prize that we know of except esteem and pride in having the prettiest Barbie in the world.
Learn Something Fun: Barbie doll has had more than 80 careers everything from a rock star to a paleontologist to a presidential candidate.
OK - color me weird but I think this is some funny stuff. Barbie was designed by Ruth Handler, who supposedly modeled the doll after a smoldering, sort of exotica prostitute character from a German comic strip, Bild Lilli. The Germans designed a doll after a sultry semi-porno character, and she bears an extremely remarkable resemblance to Barbie — or rather, Barbie bears an extremely remarkable resemblance to Lilli. (Bild Lilli, alas, came first). Ah. But, whereas the German Lilli is rather a strumpet, her American twin, Barbie, is the wholesome girl next door; if you ignore her ‘teenage’ 36-26-36 measurements and her sleek, Cleaopatra-type exotic eyeliner.
