One of the most loved Olympic events is figure skating – the jumps, the spins, and the oh-so beautiful dresses. This year is especially exciting for Brad Griffies.

This was also a very significant day in history for LOTS of girls in this world, both big and little, because it was on this day in 1959 that Barbie was officially introduced to the world by Ruth Handler At that time, most children's toy dolls were baby dolls and realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Ruth suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, as were Mattel's directors, but during a trip to Europe in 1956 with her kids, she came across a German toy doll called Bild Lilli which turned out to be the inspiration for the original Barbie.

So... if you share your birthday with Barbie, here's a great big "Happy Birthday to YOU", from StudioKat Designs, and if today is not your birthday, then I suggest you find the nearest little girl you can and spend the afternoon playing, because that's what I'll be doing!   :)
