Hot on the TIPPY-TOE

HEELS of her 60th birth-

day, Barbie makes a wish

for INCLUSIVITY: a wider

range of bodies, skin colors,

hair types, and physical

abilities. AND THAT

WISH HAS BEEN

GRANTED. But if the

iconic doll—forever a light-

ning rod for IMPOSSIBLE

beauty standards—is now

built to reflect us all, who

is she really? BRENNAN

KILBANE investigates

from Mattel headquarters.
