And you don't look a day over 25.

Barbie's done a lot in her life. She's held many careers, married Ken, left Ken, got back together and even struggled her way through math class. She even beat a popular rival into oblivion.

To mark her the 20th anniversary of her 30th birthday, she's on Jeopardy! There will be a whole category about Barbie today.

There are also a ton of events marking the occasion, including one last month where an Angela Merkel Barbie was released.

Barbie is beloved, banned and everything in between. She's run for president and had babies. She's everything feminists want for girls and yet rubs them the wrong way. She's even been parodied.

The Washington Post's Sarah Haskins has the best tribute to Barbie that I've seen the last few weeks. How many of us didn't "play doctor" with our Barbies or chop off her silken hair? My young sister and I always got the same Barbie -- so we wouldn't fight over "Summer Barbie" versus "Vet Barbie" -- and we had a ton of them. We had a lot of accessories, but most of them were the generic kind, which was our deal for getting our parents to buy Barbie, not the knock-off doll.

Happy Birthday my old friend. Even if my daughter doesn't have one of you, I still tip my hat at your longevity. I wish you many more years and hopefully another make-over where your feet finally allow you to stand on your own.
