(Click for Artist Profile and additional Artwork)
In 1964, unbenownst even to Ken, Barbie delivered a healthy baby girl who was immediately put up for adoption. (Barbie could hide her condition thanks to the large, unattactive costumes she wore that year on her "Round the World" tour.) When Barbie's baby, who was also named Barbie, grew up, she had a baby girl and named her Barbara. In 2013, on the occasion of the birth of Barbara's first child, Barbie, everyone decided it would be a good idea to locate track down "grandma Barbie's" birth mother. Turns out she wasn't at all hard to find. The original Barbie issued this statement:"In one phone call I was transformed from an ageless, childless-super-career-woman to a great-grandmother! I can only bear it because I understand they're going to dub me the one-and-only GGILF in the entire world!" ]
