Daily Talker: Barbie's Big Makeover

Barbie is getting a makeover. Mattel says the changes are the most dramatic they've ever made to the iconic doll since she was introduced in 1959. Barbie will now be sold in three new shapes – curvy, tall and petite. This is the first time Barbie will be available in anything besides her original frame. She will also be available in a variety of skin tones and hairstyles. The company celebrated the announcement on Twitter using #thedollevolves. Many people are applauding the big changes that came after years of criticism over what some called Barbie's unrealistic proportions and beauty standards. What do you think of Barbie's makeover?
