Barbie's not just a doll, she's an icon.

Penelope Carrington, May 08 Knight multimedia workshop alumna, along with Paul Kyber, a February 09 alumnus, both of The Richmond Times-Dispatch, created a fun and informative Flash project that celebrates Barbie's impact on the lives of women.

The project includes:

• Interviews from life long collectors.
• A historical perspective on how Barbie has evolved with the times.
• A quiz that will test your Barbie knowledge.
• An interactive time line that correlates the Barbie of that year with historical events.
