Origins of Barbie

Did you know that Barbie was modeled after a German sex toy named Lilli? I love HowStuffWorks. They teach me so much.

  1. That article is really funny. I especially love the imagery of grown men playing dress up with Lilli and her negligees. I would say it's a great example of cross-gender socialization, but considering her purpose, I'm guessing there were ulterior motives than to get males playing with dolls.
