Hello dolls. And welcome to the strip.

Barbie: A Cultural Icon will be on display in October at The Shops at Crystals, 3720 Las Vegas Blvd. South, according to a press release.

It will be the first Barbie doll show to tour in the US. Organizers say the event will honor more than 60 years of fashion and inspiration.

The exhibition will feature the very first Barbie doll from 1959 and guide guests through the decades, paying homage to Barbie and the world around her, the publication said. It will also feature more than 150 vintage dolls, artifacts and life-size fashion pieces brought to life through tasteful, custom-designed displays.

Video media and interviews with Barbie designers will add to the narrative.

Barbie hit the headlines in the Las Vegas Valley this summer. Dr. Audrey Sue Cruz – a local medical doctor, wellness advocate, and lifestyle blogger – was one of six new Barbie dolls added to the Mattel line, dedicated to the “modern heroes of the pandemic.”

And a Barbie pop-up truck stopped in Summerlin and Henderson last summer.
