American businesswoman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration. Barbie is the figurehead of a brand of Mattel dolls and accessories, including other family members and collectible dolls. Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for over fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parodies of the doll and her lifestyle. Mattel has sold over a billion Barbie dolls, making it the company\u2019s largest and most profitable line. However, sales have declined sharply since 2014. The doll transformed the toy business in affluent communities worldwide by becoming a vehicle for the sale of related merchandise (accessories, clothes, friends of Barbie, etc.). She had a significant impact on social values by conveying characteristics of female independence, and with her multitude of accessories, an idealized upscale life-style that can be shared with affluent friends. Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I did not know that Ruth Handler created Barbie by using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I didnt know either so Barbie was created by someone in Germany?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "No, she was an American businesswoman - just used the German doll for her inspiration."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh how interesting, I thought Barbie was American but was not for sure"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "She's definitely been the subject of numerous controversies and even lawsuits over the years - mostly about her lifestyle."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Thats understandable, but really its just a doll"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, but still sales have declined sharply since 2014"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I think that is due more to a couple of different factors, probably competition and the fact that little girls grow up too fast and do not play with dolls for as long "}]
