The Barbie we all know and love in her pink and plastic world is coming to life in a live-action movie since Warner Bros. announced the film's release!

Barbie was released at Toy Fair New York City for the first time on March 9th, 1959. The famous doll may be the most well-known, but it has had its fair share of criticism. The company has had to face issues such as harming body image and the lack of diversity in their line of dolls.
After 30+ years, the Barbie franchise made a doll with African-American features and characteristics!
The Cast
We can't wait to watch the movie because the casting looks AMAZING!
We have three different versions of Barbie, which will be played by:
- Margot Robbie (White Australian)
- Hari Nef (openly transgender woman)
- Issa Rae (Black and of Senegalese descent)
Not forgetting the iconic Ken doll, there will also be three different versions played by:
- Ryan Gosling (White of French Canadian descent)
- Simu Liu (Chinese-Canadian)
- Ncuti Gatwa (Rwandan-Scottish, also just announced as the new Doctor in Doctor Who)
About Time
It was about time that predominantly white Hollywood would start casting and mainlining more diverse characters in their movies. Barbie and Ken are very white indeed, as we know. Even though the writers, directors, and everyone involved working on this project had the opportunity to do a 'classic' white Barbie movie. Instead, we get to experience a very forward-thinking and diverse cast, including actors and actresses of color!

Coaching Testimonial
"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"
Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34
My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!

I read that the "real life Barbie", the woman who went to extremes to look like the famous doll, doesn't like mixed people. She deems thin, white, blue-eyed blondes as THE beauty standard and those who aren't as "inferior" and agents of contamination of the human gene pool; this is shades of Nazism. My mixed, pudgy daughter is far more beautiful than she is and is a real woman.
