Ive been wanting to get some barbies for my daughter but dont even know what kind to get, Do you know anything about them? 
I do! Barbie as a character is meant to embody characteristics of female independence and an idealized upscale lifestyle.
Oh neat, I do like how barbie does that, What is the age limit for barbies? should I give one to my 7 year old? 
That's a bit controversial. Some argue that Barbie, her family members, and all the other collectible dolls, shouldn't be given to kids younger than 12.
Oh ok thanks, I guess i might reconsider, Im curious though, When were barbies invented? 
It was originally launched in 1959 by Mattel, and the concept was created by American businesswoman Ruth Handler, based on a German doll at the time.
Oh neato! I never knew it was that old. Are there other barbie dolls like ones safer for younger children? 
Unlikely, considering a lot of small parts could be choking hazards. She's been the subject of quite a few lawsuits and controversies over the years.
Ah yes like the shoes and stuff especially, I dont want my young one to choke on them. Is there anything else I should know about Barbies? 
Over a billion of them have sold, Mattel's most profitable line ever, but sales have dropped off sharply in recent years.
