If you haven’t picked up a Barbie doll since you were practicing your ABC’s, then it might surprise you to know that collecting Barbie dolls is serious business for some people. But then again, it’s not that surprising— the Mattel-owned accessory figure has been a cultural mainstay since the 1950s, so she’s been through all the major fashion and beauty shifts throughout the decades: thick eyeshadow, tiny waists, big hair, you name it. The Barbie Doll Show & Sale will feature a myriad of different Barbie editions starting from vintage bathing suit Barbie to designer Barbies, and all the bizarre novelty Barbies in between (anyone else remember Wheelchair Barbie? No? Okay). Find that elusive Barbie missing in your collection, or just marvel at the illustrious career of this ultimate style chameleon.
