This past weekend, I traveled home to babysit and found myself visiting the Barbie world in a different way other than the tangible doll. And what I mean is the aspect of how Barbie has become part of the internet world. In 1996 Mattel launched http://www.barbie.com/ as their official Barbie website. I visited this website with the children I babysat with and it really was a great addition to my Barbie experience. Travelers to website can customize their Barbie based on different hair, eye, make-up, and fashion combinations. There are also interactive games, storybooks about Barbie and her friends, and lots of other fun activities. The website is continually updated and allows all the fans of Barbie to be continually connected to one of their favorite dolls. And even though I am in college, I found the website to be a fun place to visit…in other words a great procrastination tool for those nights when I really don’t want to crack open any books.
