'Hello Barbie' Gets Creepy Just in Time for the Holidays

Hello Barbie. Just don't ask us to put the lotion in a basket.

Since 1959, Barbie has been a staple in every little girl’s possession. In 2015, Barbie looks a little like she is possessed and it hasn’t been good for headlines.

Meet ‘Hello Barbie.’

She looks like the same blonde statuesque doll that every little girl wishes they could be… and then she opens her mouth. Yes, for the first time outside of a DVD, Barbie has a voice.

Once your daughter or niece yanks her out of the torturous contraption Mattel calls “packaging,” she will discover that Barbie has a switch on her gaudy belt buckle.
