Daily News | Before Greta Gerwig brought President Barbie to screen, Barbie spent a very important political summer in Philadelphia
23 years before Greta Gerwig’s army of Barbies made their way into our screens, Barbie came to Philly.
“Convention Barbie has a stylish pearl-buttoned red suit, pearl earrings, a convention pass and, naturally, red high heels,” wrote The Inquirer journalist Jane M. Von Bergen in a 2000 report. This political neutrality, Levi Fox, former Allen F. Davis fellow at the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent,, “did not reflect the realities of political difference between the two major parties in 2000.”
After stints as a veterinarian, an aerobics instructor, a nurse, a police officer, and more, Barbie finally ran for President in 2000. The “Barbie for President” doll, wore a blue pencil skirt and a blazer, and had her hair a blonde bob. The Barbies were “a part of the gift the Republican National Committee gave to us, among other things,” said Jeffery Ray, senior curator at the former Atwater Kent Museum.
