Behind the Barbie: the Secret Story of Bild Lilli - a podcast by The Pink Aisle
from 2022-07-07T20:14
This week, the Pink Aisle is going to be doing something a little different, as Henry shares the history of Bild Lilli, the German Pinup Doll that Barbie was inspired by.
Though how much of this was inspiration or theft? That is what we will discuss alongside the troublesome history of its parent newspaper, the difference between empowerment and voyeurism, and how Lilli continues to affect the world of Barbie today.
