Barbie on the cusp of the big 5-0
If only we all were as self-confident as Barbie.
Just six months shy of turning the Big 5-0, the cultural icon is taking on some eye-opening new roles — scantily clad superhero and Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

She’s one busy gal, that Barbara Millicent Roberts, and unlike the rest of Americans facing that milestone birthday, she shows no signs of slowing down.
And while some may dismiss her as just another pretty face, for millions more she is more than just a friend — she’s a member of the family.

DC Comics Barbies September 2008 Wallcalendar Wallpaper
This summer Mattel and DC Comics have released a new addition to the Superheroes line with Black Canary. There has been a fair amount of controversy over the doll wearing vinyl and fishnets with people calling her “S & M Barbie”.
What critics do not realize is that this is what the screeching heroine wears in the comics.
